WHAT IS PREMARITAL THERAPY?
Because marriage is a life-changing event, it is understandable to feel nervous, anxious, or confused about your upcoming nuptials. If you’re considering marriage with your partner or are already engaged, every couple can benefit from premarital therapy. Not only can a premarital therapist assist in sifting through and understanding any emotions surrounding the wedding itself, but your Respark Premarital Therapist will also address a wide range of topics for you to consider as you embark on this new chapter.
After marriage, and continuously throughout, your relationship can change, which is why having a solid foundation is important to remain on the same page. A Respark Premarital Therapist will help you negotiate a marriage contract, develop healthy communication patterns and ways to handle conflict productively. In premarital therapy, you will learn how to keep the spark alive and how to discuss any sexual issues that may come later in life.
