Have you done premarital counseling?

It's really easy to get caught up in the wedding details, but you can't forget about your relationship! Smiley ring Are you and your future spouse prepping for forever with premarital counseling? Have you already started some sessions together, or is it still on the to-do list?

    We haven't, but we definitely want to. We may have to wait until after the holidays, but we'll go for at least one session.

    We are currently in it and yesterday was the first session and I thought it was great for the both of us.

    We did pre-engagement counselling (my dad requested it) and it was definitely beneficial

    We went through the SYMBIS books on our own but dont really have the funds to have someone else administer.

    We want to but he is always on the rode. I plan to schedule a few sessions a few months before the wedding.

    Yes! Our church required it, so it didn't seem fun. Well, we loved it! Truly loved it! We talked about so much we hadn't yet, and we've been together 7 years! I highly recommend to everyone, required or no!

    Definitely on our to-do list

    I used to have Employee Assistance Program at work that would have covered it with a psychologist, but I've since changed jobs and so I have to find someone that does it.

    We may also talk to an elder at my church. I'd like to do both, the religious and secular counselling.

    We were offered this but didn't feel we needed it.

    It's on the to-do list. We're doing a Catholic Ceremony, so it is required for the church, but I think we would have done one anyways as I've heard good things about doing one.

    We have not. I definitely need to look into it though. I foresee it being helpful.

    We did not participate in premarital counseling. We discussed major issues and life decisions that would be made throughout out lives together. We agreed on everything and decided counseling was not for us.

    We'll be doing about 4 sessions with our officiant. It is required, but I also think it's a really good idea.

    We did our pre marital counseling and it was great. We learned a lot about ourselves and our relationship. We have a better understanding and it is a great thing to do before getting married.

    We did it through a local church (our ceremony was in a church but not where we live and they required it). We weren't sure how it would go but we actually loved it! And I'm not at all religious.

    Our officiant requires it for him to marry us but we wanted to do it anyway! We've started the paperwork he's sent us we just have to finish that and then set up some times for sessions.

    Yes! We did pre-martial counseling back in September. I think it was super beneficial!
