Relationships are challenging, especially when we lack clear agreements and practical tools for communicating and managing differences.
Partners in successful marriages understand themselves, each other, and their future in the relationship.
We are here to guide you in maintaining a healthy connection.
Strengthen Your Relationship Before Saying "I Do"
At Colorado Relationship Recovery, we understand that building a strong foundation is crucial for a lasting marriage.
Our premarital counseling services are designed to help couples navigate the complexities of relationships, ensuring you're well-prepared for the journey ahead.
We start with the Prepare/Enrich assessment, the gold standard for premarital couples. This assessment highlights areas of strength and identifies areas of growth.
Before working together, we recommend and encourage you to take our free premarital attachment quiz. Understanding adult attachment can help you and your partner avoid the root of recurring conflict.
Why choose Premarital Counseling?
Premarital counseling offers couples the opportunity to:
- Enhance communication: Learn effective communication strategies to express needs and resolve conflicts.
- Understand relationship dynamics: Learn about each other's personalities, values, attachment styles, and expectations.
- Develop conflict resolution skills: Equip yourselves with tools to handle disagreements constructively.
- Align on core issues: Discuss key topics like finances, children, and career goals to ensure mutual understanding.
What skills will we gain from it?
The Prepare/Enrich assessment will give you two tools specific to your growth areas in these topics:
- Communication patterns
- Financial management
- Sexual expectations
- Family dynamics
- Spiritual beliefs
Our facilitators will guide you through your personalized results and teach you the skills and tools to maintain harmony and handle or prevent future conflicts.
You’ll also have the space to work on them in sessions, gaining the confidence to use them on your own.
We also assist couples in learning how to give constructive feedback to one another, with one of our favorite tools, the Feedback Wheel.
How often, how long, and how much are premarital sessions?
What we’ve seen to be the most effective is when couples engage in two 90-minute sessions.
This is the sweet spot for working on and addressing growth areas, utilizing tools, and laying the foundation for healthy relationships.
Our premarital counseling experts and Prepare/Enrich facilitators, Jude Nesbitt and Bethany Bedford, offer two 90-minute sessions for $497.
