"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 |

"Thank you so much for all the work
you did with us. I truly feel like you covered all the bases with
us about what to expect in marriage and have made us better
communicators. I
know things will come up along the way but you have given us the
tools we need to handle it." Mr. & Mrs. LA

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.
I will also have you go through
Marriage On The Rock by Jimmy
Evans.
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!

101 Questions to ask
Before You Get Engaged by H. Norman Wright
Since so many
engagements break up,
it's time to help those looking for their life companion to have a
better screening tool. Couples will be much more confident about
whether or not to pursue marriage after completing these in–depth
and personal questions. Norm also addresses the delicate subject of
calling off the wedding if readers discover that a potential mate
isn’t actually meant to be a life partner. |
