Premarital Therapy
You’re planning for a future together—now is the time to invest in the relationship that will carry you forward. Whether you’re engaged, newly married, or seriously considering a long-term commitment, premarital therapy helps you prepare not just for a wedding, but for a lifetime of growth, connection, and partnership.
Why Start Premarital Counseling Now?
The strongest couples aren’t the ones who avoid challenges—they’re the ones who know how to face them together. Premarital therapy gives you:
-
A space for open, honest conversations
-
Tools to navigate future conflicts with respect and care
-
Insight into each other’s emotional needs, values, and communication styles
-
Confidence in your shared vision for the life you're building
This isn’t about finding problems—it’s about preparing for real life with intentionality and heart. You’re not just preparing for a ceremony—you’re preparing for a partnership. With premarital therapy, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your relationship and walk into marriage with clarity, tools, and a stronger bond.
Build something lasting—together.
Erica is a Prepare/Enrich facilitator and can structure your premarital therapy in this way if you are interested. She is also a Twogether in Texas service provider. This means that upon the completion of 8 Prepare/Enrich sessions, you will receive a certificate that can be presented to a Texas county clerk for up to $60 off your marriage license fee and waiving of the 72-hour waiting period.
