Frequently Asked Questions
What can we expect from each pre-marital session?
The initial session will be us getting started by exploring your relationship story, highlighting your strengths, reviewing any pre-marital assessment you completed, and collaborating on future topic areas that we will dive deeper into as we move forward. Each topic area session will focus on one area of your relationship - including discussion, techniques, activity together in session, and possibly homework assigned.
