So you're getting married?!
Congratulations! You're getting married! Pre Marriage Counselling isn't always something most couples have on their wedding checklist, but it can be one of the most important and impactful experiences of your engagement. Studies show that premarital counselling reduces the risk of divorce by 30%, and improves marital satisfaction! Pre Marriage Counselling is a 4 sessions (each comprising of 1 hour) commitment to enriching your relationship as a couple by preparing for hurdles and setting you up for a successful marriage. As a couple you will be able to use this time to communicate with one another in a way that you may never have had the opportunity to do. Also to celebrate strengths of the relationship and experience fun homework assignments each week that will help you grow in your love and appreciation for one another.
What does Pre Marriage Counselling look like?

Erica Hildebrand is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and is excited to be offering this service to clients! She has experience counselling pre married couples and has found great joy in helping them navigate their relationships as they are on the border of marriage. She understands that marriage can be really hard at times, but is an advocate for marriage and wants to see couples set up for success right at the onset! She is warm, non judgemental, relaxed and likes to bring humour into each counselling session. This investment will hopefully help you feel more equipped for what comes after the 'Big Day'. The time spent on each topic will vary depending on the unique needs and desires of each couple.

Some of the topics we will talk through...
-
the meaning of marriage commitment
-
communication and managing conflict
-
expectations in the marriage
-
money and roles
-
sex and intimacy
-
blending families & inlaws
....to name a few
Although pre marriage counselling can occur at any time before the wedding, recent studies suggest that it should be completed 6 months prior to the wedding if possible. This allows the relationship a chance to shift and adjust as a response to the discussion in the counselling and build confidence in the relationship.
