Marriage Counseling/Enrichment
Our pre-marital counseling consists of eight sessions with your mentor couple. Each week you will be asked to complete readings and listen to speakers on the upcoming week's topic. All work should be done in advance of each session to allow for the most beneficial discussion. The time with your mentor couple is meant to be a safe place where you can ask any questions you have and learn from a couple who is ahead of you in this life stage. Download the Syllabus
