Hello and thank you for joining me. So today I want to talk about
Premarital Counseling. I know that many of you read the OceanLife blog for relationship advice, so Premaritcal Counseling is something that will benefit you in the long-run, whether it is because you have children in their 20’s or 30’s looking to marry or maybe because there is something within the Premarital Course that your own relationship could benefit from.
Did you know that Premarital Counseling could help you in your marriage today even though you have probably been married for a number of years? Let me explain. Many of the issues that are brought up during marriage counseling are the same issues addressed in the Premarital Course that Oceanlife Christian Counseling is currently offering. As a Christian Counselor in Pensacola Florida, we offer the premarital couples information on preventative measures to take to ensure that their marriage will be a strong and healthy one.
Our focus for couples is for us to prepare them, by explaining the importance of nurturing the marriage regularly so as a couple you remain strong in married life. We cover 9 different topics that we know will be beneficial to the couple by giving them the vital information from what the word of God says about marriage. Also included in the sessions, we discuss God’s expectations of husbands to their wives and wives to their husbands. The course is meant to prepare the couple for the journey through life as husband and wife.
The course also offers tidbits of information on various things like the importance of having a date night, how going over finances together can keep you both aware and informed of your financial situation, as well as offering important information on how to safeguard important documents once married. Other topics that are discussed in detail are communication, conflict resolution, intimacy and forgiveness, just to name a few.
If you are a parent or a grandparent and really want to see your family members flourish in their marriages, as well as thrive for tomorrow, then I recommend setting them up for success. You can do that by acknowledging the importance of Premarital Counseling and discussing it with them.
It is my hope that one day Premarital Counseling will be just as important as the wedding itself because I truly believe it is a wise investment into a couple’s future.
Until next time God bless you!
