Saving Your Marriage Before Saying "I Do"!
Premarital & Relationship Preparation for Couples
While there are many positive and wonderful things to say about marriage and being married, romantic promises and ceremonial vows are not enough to ensure the survival of marriage. We cannot ignore the upset-ness that many couples experience in our homes; heartache that is suffered by the couple but also by their vulnerable sons and daughters. Add to that, today’s couples, unlike in their parents’ time, have more of an imbalance between demands and the resources to meet those demands. Without the knowledge and skills to manage the conflict and overload, it is only a matter of time before the marriage is in a downward spiral toward separation and divorce.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. What if you could keep the love, respect, closeness, happiness and attraction that is present before you say, “I Do”? Well, you can do just that. If you do not want to make the same painful mistakes your family members or friends have made, take the opportunity to participate in a process that does more than pay lip service to preparing you for a relationship that will last.

Testimonial
“The judge in divorce court told us to get counseling and come back to see him in 6 months, so my lawyer told us about Nancy. Reluctantly, we went to see her but had no plans to go a second time. During our first session, she asked us one question that made us go back: “Who put you all together?” The woman knows her stuff and she doesn’t mind telling you how it is. We needed that and ultimately, our marriage was saved. Accepting the realization that we needed counseling wasn’t easy, but we trusted Nancy’s method and stuck with her. Today, 5 years later, we are truly happy. We send all of our friends to her and are confident that they will receive the results they are seeking.”
