PREMARITAL COUNSELING

aquari0216 · December 2012

Did any of you do it? I'm at a crossroads, in a bit of depression and confused.. Wondering how helpful it is? We start in Feb....wedding in June lol. Cold feet, scared, and praying....i took the approval for counseling call to be a sign...that we'd be ok..

Absolutely a good thing. I believe so many people go into marriage for the wedding.. when it is sooo much more than that.. (not saying that's you). There are those things that are hard to bring up and to REALLY COMMUNICATE about. This will be good.. either way it goes..its that important.imo

Yes, a great thing. You will find ways to really understand each other and how each person really communicates.

being that we took Christian Relationship counseling....we know our butts are going to be in pre-marital counseling....Good thing to do!! You will get to know so many things about each other that you really never thought to ask!

Yes...I say do it. We are. I be having so many thoughts in my head of what I be wanting to say about certain things but dont be wanting to sound like im being mean or non considerate. So before we go into this marriage I need to get this stuff off my chest so I can make sure I/we dont have these issues later on down the road.

I would recommend that you do it, if you can. We did two forms of it; in a group with my church and a personal minister outside the church. It helped us gets through our 1^st large rough patch. I feel like our communication is stronger and we know where the other person stands. I highly recommend anyone to do it and look into doing follow up sessions if the engagement is long like our or even after the wedding like we want to do.

On a side note, we BOTH received personal counseling from personal ministers prior to completing counseling together. Just putting it out there as your second statement led me to think maybe you could seek it first and then start couple sessions soon after. This helped id our issues and feelings so we had focus in couple sessions.

We are doing it as well. It is really important to me. I feel like it will help us build a solid foundation for our marriage. I almost feel like you dont know until you go. But it will make sense after you do.

Thanks ladies...and I really think we outta do individual counseling too ....continue to pray for us...

leatba · December 2012

We are going to do counseling as well. I think it's essential.

We did it. Just be prepared for the pastor (or whoever) to say things you dont want to hear but need to hear. Its so helpful.

I'm currently going through my counseling. (My 3rd Session in Tuesday) As the AAW Ladies post, the sessions are definitely helpful. They are brining out all kind of items that we need to work through. My pastor is even requiring that we continue with 3 sessions - AFTER WE ARE MARRIED. I've learned soooo much about myself and my FI.

Aquari...I do feel like if you are having the thoughts u said earlier it definitely will b good for individual counseling..especially if u are saying he is having his own thought issues.. u know

We did it and it was super helpful...We also are going to marriage counseling with the same pastor for the first year of our marriage and we love it. If you can afford it I say go for it it will be the best investment you make.

Premaritial counseling is very important for this phase in your life. Definitely don't skip out on this. Be open and honest and ready to hear what the third party has to say. It is so helpful. Congrats on making a very important step and decision. I'm praying for you aquiari.
