At the Calgary Couples Counselling Centre, we have a pre-marital counselling program that is 6-10 sessions long. One of our therapists will work with you and your partner to tailor the program to your individual interests and relationship needs. Here are the top 4 benefits couples experience from doing pre-marital counselling.
Through the program, you and your partner gain a deeper understanding of each other’s personality traits, beliefs, opinions, hopes, emotions, behaviours, and values. Several couples I’ve worked with through the program have that they have learned new things about themselves, their partner, and their relationship. This new learning and understanding helps couples have a more connected, happy, and healthy relationship.
At the start of the program, you and your partner complete an assessment that ask questions about various aspects of your relationship. Your therapist will review the results from the assessment with you and your partner. You will also receive a copy of the assessment results, which many couples find helpful to gain an overview of the parts of their relationship that are working well and the parts that could be improved (a.k.a. growth areas). Through acknowledgement and awareness of your relationship growth areas, couples can build an even stronger relationship.
Below are some of the areas the assessment evaluates as well as the various 6-10 topics:
Planning and organizing a wedding can be stressful for many couples. As part of the program, your therapist will help you and your partner manage wedding stress, build support, and conceptualize which aspects of the wedding are particularly important to each of you. Ultimately, this helps couples reduce stress and conflict as well as feel like a team throughout the wedding planning process.
Pre-marital counselling provides couples a safe place to have important conversations that are supported by one of our caring and non-judgmental therapists. Many of these important conversations focus on communication, conflict management, finances, values, and intimacy; all of which build the foundation for a lifetime of love and connection.
Most couples find it helps tremendously to participate in a pre-marital program. Our therapists will be happy to help you do this. We are passionate about helping couples improve the quality of their relationships. It is our major specialty.
We look forward to keeping in touch with you and want you to know that we are always here if you need us.
