So what is premarital counseling?

There's a U.S. Marine saying I have always loved: "We don't rise to the occasion; we fall to the level of our training." I happen to believe that both are true, but when it comes to things like marriage, we often don't consider how important it is to train before we even get started.

Premarital counseling gets you and your partner ready for the long haul and is a great fit for couples who are cohabitating, engaged, or newly married. Marriage is a beautiful and unpredictable adventure that sometimes requires more than love and good intentions. It requires some digging, honesty, and the support of a solid foundation to fall back on when life throws you a curveball.

So, let’s start exploring your relationship, asking all those unasked questions, and preparing you to have a marriage that is rock solid from the get-go. Romance right now is amazing, and we’re also looking to the skills that help you truly stay together for the long haul.

Experience the empowerment of pre marriage counseling Houston

At MT, we are all about offering couples counseling that is uniquely matched to your needs and values (not our idea of what you should value). We will explore the already awesome parts of your relationship and make them stronger and uncover the areas that may need a little more love.

After each session, you and your partner will leave with greater insight into your relationship, exercises to work on to promote growth, and skills/knowledge that you can draw on for the rest of your lives together. And, believe me, you will have fun along the way! 

We're always looking at various approaches to tailor the space to exactly what you need for healthier relationships and a strong quality of life together, including The Gottman method and Imago relationship therapy. We also have a few certified sex therapists if intimacy is an area of interest.

Virtual and online premarital support

If you’re looking for a comfy or flexible way to feel supported from your home or wherever it’s most convenient, we’re happy to offer those options. Simply let us know when you reach out, and we’re here to meet you where you’re at.

Alright, that’s all sounding pretty good, but what are some of the goals we will work on?

  • Communicate your feelings and wants with honesty and love (communication skills impact everything!)

  • Handle stress, and learn ways to care for yourselves and each other's mental health

  • Transform conflict into a creative opportunity with support to foster conflict resolution

  • Manage relationships with extended family and in-laws, including around wedding planning

  • Discuss financial planning and all the practical matters that come with being a twosome

  • Establish personal, couple and family goals

  • Understand and appreciate personality differences

  • Build and maintain a partnership marriage that can respond to life transitions through the years (moves, career change, parenting, etc.)

  • Nurture closeness and intimacy with intentional dating, even though you’re both super busy

  • Explore cultural differences, religion, and spirituality how they can enrich your life together

  • Dig into your upbringing to grow closer with understanding of the new family you're creating

Most of all, you can learn to build on your strengths and work as a team to nurture a relationship that will, in turn, nurture the two of you for a lifetime.

FAQ: Premarital Counseling Houston & Online

  • Premarital counseling is available to anyone located in Texas. Our offices are located in Houston, Texas for in-person sessions and we can accommodate virtual sessions for those who are not local. Our admin team is ready to pair you with the best approach based on what you're looking for and preferences for both partners.

  • Y'all we LOVE working with relationships through the lens of connection and intimacy. The way we show up in our relationships (who we're attracted to, how we relate, how we get our needs met, how we don't, how we bottle things up, how we push people away) has everything to do with our story. 

    When it comes to intimacy, we completely understand that letting a stranger in can sound intimidating and strange. We’re here to offer sex therapy that builds the safety you need to feel heard and understood as you create a sex life that feels fulfilling to your unique partnership.

    Whether it's our 4th session or our 8th, these are topics that often come up within many other topics we may talk to in premarital counseling sessions.

  • We sure do! Our couples therapists infuse Gottman trainings and concepts throughout couples therapy sessions alongside other important conversations that align to your goals as a couple and skills that can strengthen your bond to operate like a true team. It's an exciting time in your relationship to be introduced to these new skills that you'll be able to apply to your relationship from disagreements to conflict resolution skills and more.
