Brides.com suggests: "Consider premarital preparation." "Divorce rates are high. So a premarital prep course or counseling is helpful in pointing out trouble areas and teaching couples how to communicate and work toward shared goals. Many are offered through religious institutions (some require them before marriage), and there are classes offered independently as well. It's best to begin shortly after becoming engaged, giving you time to 'practice' your new skills." Terry Hefter, LCPC, CAADC, says individual sessions are very beneficial and suggests calling to set up a few appointments with one of our excellent therapists for preparation, as mentioned above.
