Why Premarital Counseling
Is Important?

Communication skills are strengthened.

Many people are not born with the skill to effectively listen and hear what another person has to say. Couples who learn how to communicate well together have a much better time tackling the many issues that a good marriage must deal with.

This can be a big issue to some, but not necessarily to others. Differing spiritual beliefs have the potential of causing problems and major disagreements with regards to practice, beliefs, children, etc.

Who will be doing what in the marriage will be discussed. This can apply to finances, chores, sexual intimacy and more. It's important to have an open and honest discussion on what you expect from the other in all of these areas.

The truth is, conflict and arguments will come up in any marriage. Therefore it is of the utmost importance to know how to handle conflict when it arises. There are ways to diffuse the conflict that are very effective and can actually decrease the time spent in argument. Research shows that couples who know how to to handle conflict are much more likely to not divorce.
