Pre-Marital Counseling
Build a foundation so strong that when life tests your marriage, you're ready.
You're getting married — and you want to do this right. Pre-marital counseling isn't about finding problems. It's about building a foundation so strong that when life tests your marriage, you're ready.
Our pre-marital counseling plan is a structured 3-month program designed for engaged couples. You'll meet weekly, alternating between a pastoral counselor and a licensed therapist — giving you both spiritual grounding and clinical tools for your marriage.
What Your First Session Looks Like
You click 'Get Started' and complete a short, confidential assessment together — about 10 minutes.
Our team reviews your responses and pairs you with both a pastoral counselor and a licensed therapist who will work together throughout your program.
You receive your match within 24 hours and schedule your first weekly session.
Your first session is about getting to know you as a couple — your story, your strengths, and the areas you want to grow in before the wedding.
Together, you'll map out your 3-month journey, covering the key topics that set marriages up for success.
Common Issues We Address
Communication & Conflict Resolution
Learn how to communicate honestly and lovingly, even when you disagree. We'll help you identify your communication styles and build skills for resolving conflict before it becomes a pattern.
Finances & Shared Values
Money is the number one source of conflict in marriage. We'll help you align on financial goals, budgeting, giving, and what stewardship looks like in your household.
Expectations & Roles
Every couple brings unspoken expectations into marriage. We'll surface those assumptions — about household roles, career priorities, family planning, and faith practices — before they become resentments.
Intimacy & Emotional Connection
Healthy intimacy starts long before the wedding night. We'll help you build emotional safety, discuss physical expectations, and understand intimacy as God designed it.
Building a Christ-Centered Home
Your marriage is a ministry. We'll help you create shared spiritual practices — prayer, worship, service, and hospitality — that anchor your home in Christ.
How Faith Is Integrated
Marriage is a covenant before God — and at Pastor's Heart, your pre-marital counseling is built on that truth. Your pastoral counselor will help you explore what a Christ-centered marriage looks like in practice: shared prayer, mutual submission, forgiveness, and spiritual leadership.
Your licensed therapist brings clinical tools — communication frameworks, personality assessments, and conflict resolution strategies — that complement the spiritual foundation. Together, they give you a complete toolkit for marriage.
Whether you've been in church your whole lives or are just beginning to explore faith as a couple, your counselors will meet you where you are and help you build something lasting.
$298/month for 3 months. Weekly sessions alternating between pastoral counselor and licensed therapist. Includes messaging between sessions and access to The Fellowship Room.
