How Long Does Premarital Counseling Take?
Most couples attend 6 to 8 sessions, though some continue for additional sessions to strengthen their connection further. It’s easier to build relationship skills before major stress hits.
We Only Have a Few Weeks Before the Wedding—Should We Still Do It?
Yes! Even if you’re short on time, starting now can give you tools to bring into your marriage. Many couples continue their sessions after the wedding to keep building a strong foundation.
What If Premarital Counseling Brings Up Big Issues?
This is a common concern, but for most couples, premarital counseling brings them closer rather than farther apart. If bigger challenges do surface, therapy gives you the space to work through them with clarity—before they become long-term issues.
What If We’re Already Married?
If you’re in the early years of marriage and noticing:
- More miscommunications than expected
- Frequent misunderstandings or lingering past issues
- Trouble adjusting to shared routines, finances, or family expectations
Then Marriage Counseling can help. It’s designed to strengthen connection before frustration builds up—so your relationship grows stronger instead of drifting apart.
Not all therapists are trained in couples counseling. Many focus on individual therapy, which is very different.
At OC Relationship Center, our premarital therapists:
- Have advanced training in couples therapy techniques.
- Specialize in helping couples prepare for long-term success.
- Use an active, structured approach—not just “talk therapy.”
Your marriage deserves the best start possible.
