Marriage is an amazing life changing commitment. It is a decision that you want to consider fully.

Our offices located in Arlington and Mansfield have counselors that can help you begin the premarital process now, and reap the benefits of healthy communication, more profound wisdom, and the means to steer through life with your partner for years to come.

Planning a wedding is not an easy job. There are so many other concerns and costs to make decisions about. Your relationship should be the most significant investment you make.

A benefit to doing premarital counseling in Texas: couples who complete 8 hours of a premarital program will receive a discount on their marriage license and are excused from the 72-hour waiting period (under Twogether in Texas).

  • Communication

  • Conflict resolution

  • Finances / Financial goals

  • Marital expectations

  • Relationship roles

  • Health & wellness

  • Personality differences

  • Children and parenting expectations

  • Spiritual beliefs / Relationship values

  • Family of origin dynamics

  • Sex and intimacy

Are you and your partner planning to tie the knot soon? Congratulations! This is a wonderful and exciting time in your life. However, as you prepare for your big day, it’s important to remember that marriage is a significant commitment with its own challenges. That’s why pre-marital therapy can be incredibly beneficial for couples who want to build a strong foundation for their relationship.

At Mansfield Counseling, we offer pre-marital therapy tailored to your unique needs as a couple. Our experienced therapists will work with you to explore your backgrounds, beliefs, and expectations for your marriage. We will also help you identify potential conflict areas and teach you effective communication and problem-solving skills to address these issues.

Here are just a few of the many benefits of pre-marital therapy:

  1. Improved Communication Communication is a crucial component of any successful relationship. In pre-marital therapy, you and your partner will learn to communicate effectively and listen actively. This will help you express your thoughts and feelings in a clear and respectful way and understand your partner’s perspective as well.

  2. Deeper Understanding of Each Other Through pre-marital therapy, you and your partner can share more about your individual backgrounds, experiences, and values. This can help you to better understand each other’s motivations and behaviors and to build a stronger emotional connection.

  3. Identification of Potential Areas of Conflict No relationship is perfect, and it’s important to identify potential conflict areas before they become major issues. Pre-marital therapy can help you and your partner to recognize potential challenges and develop strategies for addressing them effectively.

  4. Building Stronger Problem-Solving Skills Every couple will face challenges in their relationship. Pre-marital therapy can teach you and your partner the skills to work through problems constructively and positively.

  5. Preparation for Life Changes Marriage often brings significant changes, such as combining finances, starting a family, or relocating. Pre-marital therapy can help you and your partner to prepare for these changes and to navigate them successfully.

At Mansfield Counseling, we are committed to helping you and your partner build a strong and healthy relationship. Our pre-marital therapy sessions are designed to be supportive, non-judgmental, and collaborative. We will work with you every step to ensure you feel heard, understood, and empowered.
