Premarital Counseling

Premarital counseling is a time when engaged couples get to test their relationship prior to tying the knot at the altar. Most premarital counseling sessions can take weeks, even months to complete. Homework assignments that require additional hours of preparation cause even more stress during an already stressful period in relationships. Do not be confused though - premarital counseling is highly recommended by LifeWithMe.com.  

However, we do realize that while useful and important, it can easily become a burden because of the time and financial commitment required. That is why LifeWithMe.com, while we are not offering premarital counseling, is providing a series of questions for engaged couples, which we call premarital advice. These questions are designed to stimulate important and meaningful conversations between future husband and future wife on topics pertinent to an enjoyable engagement and ultimately- marriage. It is a perfect solution for those that do not have the time or money to go through premarital counseling.  

After reading all this, it is normal to have questions, and LifeWithMe.com welcomes these questions! An important part of LifeWithMe.com will be our “Dear Rachael” and “Dear Jon” sections, which is guided and inspired by your questions. Our experience as an engaged couple was filled with numerous questions about many different topics, and we want to be able to provide answers to those questions. We found ourselves going to our friends that had recently been married and gone through the same issues, but not everyone has that opportunity, which is why you can contact us at Rachael@lifewithme.com and jon@lifewithme.com. No question is too simple or obvious to ask! 

In summary, we understand the busyness during engagement, which is why we condensed what we have learned from our premarital counseling to assist in other engaged couples’ lives. Our mission is preparing couples for marriage by finding love in all the right places. By offering an alternative to premarital counseling, we hope we encourage you to continue to find love in the right place during your engagement – each other.
