Enrichment
WHY COUNSELING?
Many couples make meticulous arrangements for their wedding, but don’t fully prepare for what follows – their marriage. Marital education and consultation are the best investment into your future together as a married couple that you could ever make. Marriage Consultation and Enrichment helps couples focus on their relationship beyond the wedding day.
The program resembles counseling in the sense that it helps couples address matters that they would have trouble acknowledging or speaking about without the assistance of a mediator. The goals of Marriage Consultation and Enrichment are:
* Explore strength and growth areas
* Strengthen communication skills
* Identify and manage major stressors
* Conflict resolution
* Develop a more balanced relationship
* Understand personality differences and maximize teamwork
