Premarital counseling is a bit more structured than marriage counseling. It’s focused on making sure you have the tools you need to have a marriage you want.

Each session is 60 minutes long. Usually 8 sessions are done. But it all depends on each individual couples and their needs.

Research shows that couples who complete premarital counseling are 30% less likely to divorce or separate than couples who have not spent time preparing for marriage.
