Premarital Counseling Phoenix AZ

 Congratulations!!!  You are getting married.  Now your friends and family are telling you that it is a good idea to do some PREMARITAL COUNSELING before your wedding but how do you know if you really need it?  The answer is simple... Everyone can benefit from PREMARITAL COUNSELING.  No matter how much you think you know your partner, there is always something new to discover.  Wouldn't it be great to say "I Do" with the confidence that you did everything you possibly could do to prepare for a lifetime of togetherness?

Whether you are 21 or 71, this is your first marriage or your fourth,  PREMARITAL COUNSELING is always a good idea.  Too many people enter into marriage with a set of unspoken and often unrealistic expectations.  While we all wish our spouse could be a mind reader and automatically know us so well that they fulfill these expectations, the reality is this rarely happens.  Maybe you were raised in a family where your needs were ignored or maybe your always got your way in a previous relationship. These life experiences create our expectations. No matter what your personal history may be, expectations need to be discussed and either agreed to or negotiated.  PREMARITAL COUNSELING provides a safe forum for you to share your expectations and identify potential conflict issues  in hopes of preventing resentment, sadness, or anger in future.
