Premarital Counseling

Using time tested and research driven practices, we help premarital and newlywed couples get their relationship started on solid footing. Unfortunately in the past there was no handbook on how to make a marriage successful. At best a couple received a counseling session or two from the minister and some words of advice from family or friends. Fortunately today, we are in a position to provide couples with scientifically proven skills and techniques known to increase marital satisfaction, harmony and intimacy. At a time when the divorce rate for first marriages is around an unprecedented 50% and second marriages at 60%, access to these tools is more important than ever.

In response to these overwhelming statistics on divorce, NEIMFT has developed partnerships with several churches, some of whom make attendance in our 6 session premarital therapy a prerequisite to the marriage ceremony itself. When considering the investment of time and money the couple puts into the wedding day event itself, these churches believe that a 6 session investment in counseling is as equally, if not more important, to their life-long commitment to one another as husband and wife.

These sessions are topic specific and offered to any premarital and newlywed couple regardless of religious affiliation.
