"Thank
you so much for leading us through our premarital
counseling. We learned so much about each other and about
what the Lord has designed for our marriage." Mr. &
Mrs. MM |

Most
couples spend a great deal of time, energy, and money on their wedding
ceremony, which only lasts a few hours. Many of those same couples will
invest little time in building relational skills that would help them to
have a satisfying and lasting relationship. Marriage is a commitment for
a lifetime.
|
|
Too
many of society’s problems can be traced to divorce, and the breakup
of the family. Therefore, in the interest of yourselves, your
families, your future children, and the local community, we require
the following of every couple. You will need to complete the
MinistryStyles
Personality Profile and the
Biblical Concepts evaluation.
All results are strictly confidential and may not be
released without your written consent. |

Both
aassessments
should be completed before our first session.
You will need to purchase the
following books:
Before You Say I Do,
Revised and Expanded
by H. Norman Wright,
Wes Roberts.
If this is not your first marriage substitute
Before
You Remarry by H. Norm Wright.
Love and
Respect with the accompanying
workbook by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs.
The last book is
Intended for
Pleasure, Third Edition By: Ed Wheat, Gaye Wheat.
You
must make a commitment to finish the material before your wedding day.
You will have two or three hours of homework each week for 8-12
weeks depending on your situation. I know this is a lot of work. Remember, you are investing in your
future together, to build a strong and lasting marriage.
Please be sure to purchase two copies of each book, one
for each person. Do not work out of the same books.
Countdown
for Couples by Dale & Susan Mathis is not
mandatory but will prove to be very helpful. |

Homework to be
completed by the third session:
By the third session, you will have completed pages 1-42 in the Love
and Respect Workbook and worked through the first two
chapters in the Norm Wright workbook. You are expected to complete
all homework assignments before coming to the next counseling
session.
Hold the wedding date very loosely. You
have a lot of work to do. Allow yourselves the flexibility to reexamine
your relationship. After going through the material you may find that,
you wish to postpone or even cancel the wedding. Please
contact
our office for additional details regarding appointment availability
and counseling costs. We look forward to hearing from you!
