Premarital Counseling
Helping engaged couples build lasting marriages
You are spending so much time to make every detail of your wedding perfect. You want an instagram-worthy wedding. But what about the marriage? Have you spent as much time talking with your partner about what life will be like after you say “I do?”
Right now, your brain is flooded with dopamine, and it’s hard to imagine not feeling this way about them. But what about when the dopamine fades and you are no longer feeling head over heels? When the stressors of life creep in and you are no longer on your best behavior?
Lately, whenever you have a fight it starts this cascade of little (or big) fears and worries.
What if this is a sign? You know that every couples fight- but what is the difference between the ones that have healthy fights and stay together and the ones that have a terrible marriage followed by years of divorce court? That is NOT the life that either of you want!
My name is Marina Stanton.
I help engaged couples feel confident about their marriage AND create healthy patterns that lead to healthy solid marriages.
One of the most important parts about building a happy marriage is knowing what to expect and what challenges you are likely to encounter. When you combine two personalities, opinions, histories, and expectations, conflict will inevitably arise. All couples have conflict. It’s about how you work together to resolve these differences that will make all the difference.
Do you have a good idea of what those topics of conflict will be?
Do you know how you and your partner manage conflicts? Do you generally avoid conflict? Validate your partner's viewpoint? Passionately disagree? Does your partner have the same conflict style as you prefer?
In premarital counseling, I work with both of you to build a road map of your relationship. I help you understand what makes you unique as a couple, and celebrate these strengths with you! These will be areas that you can fall back on when things feel stressful!
I also help you prepare the challenges you WILL experience along the way. I'll even help you identify the most likely challenges to that will pop-up. I have a tested process that identifies issues before they are issues!
We will work together to create a unique plan tailored to you as individuals and a couple.
I provide pre marriage counseling online throughout Texas or in person in my downtown Frisco, TX office. We'll keep premarital counseling brief and focused-- because I know that you have more important and fun things to do, like planning your wedding!
I love working with couples before they get married, as well as helping them revive their relationship by working on intimacy and sex, communication, or faith transitions.
