Our Premarital Counseling Covers:
Communication
How do you talk openly without hurting each other? How do you handle inevitable conflict? How do you stay connected emotionally?
After reviewing your current communication styles we’ll teach you specific skills to have an open, authentic and emotionally intimate partnership — and resolve differences constructively.
Teamwork
Who’s going to do what around your house? Are you in agreement about household responsibilities, parenting styles, and expectations about each other’s roles?
We’ll take a look at where you’re in alignment, and if we spot any disconnects we’ll teach you time-tested systems for getting on the same page and functioning as an effective team.
Finances
Are you on the same team when it comes to money? How will you manage your money together after you’re married? Do you have a shared plan for your financial future?
In our program you’ll learn practical systems to create an open dialogue about money, create agreement about spending and saving, and make responsible financial decisions together.
Hopes and Dreams
What do you want your shared life to be about? How do you support each other’s goals? Are you in agreement about big things like family, spirituality, and values?
Learn how to understand and accept each other for the beautiful, unique people you are. Our strategies will help you lift each other up, and make your shared dreams a reality.
Lifestyle
How will your life change after you get married? How about after you have kids? How do you handle potentially delicate things like in-laws, friends, and how you spend your time?
We can help you come to agreement about even the touchiest subjects. We’ll make sure your priorities are in alignment, and help you transition from “me” to “we.”
Sex and Love
You don’t want to be one of those “we love each other but we’re not in love anymore” couples. How do you stay connected emotionally and sexually, over the long haul?
We’ll assess your current levels of sexual and emotional intimacy, and help you identify any growth opportunities. You’ll learn time-tested strategies to keep your love strong.

Questions About Our Premarital Counseling Program?
What Meeting Options Are Available?
We’re all about easy. You can meet with us in-person in our Denver or Broomfield offices. We offer day, evening and weekend hours. We also meet with people all over the US and internationally through online video. (Skype, FaceTime and Google Hangouts). If you travel, are living abroad, or you two are currently long-distance, we’ve got you covered.
How many sessions will we have?
This is all about you and what you need. Some couples literally have one session with us and leave feeling more confident in their relationship and their future. Most couples prefer to spend a few sessions discussing the things that are important to them: communication, values, expectations, and finances to learn the tools and strategies that successful marriages require. Yet other couples have specific concerns coming in to premarital counseling that they hope to resolve before moving forward into marriage. You can discuss your hopes for premarital counseling during your consultation session, so we can make sure this is exactly what you need it to be.
Is This Religious Counseling?
No. While spirituality and religion may be an important part of your shared life together (and certainly part of what we discuss in premarital counseling) our job is to help you two get in alignment about your beliefs — whatever they may be.
How Much Does Premarital Counseling Cost?
We specialize in making effective help accessible. Rates of our practitioners vary by their years of experience. Our advanced, licensed clinicians charge $125 per session while our junior team members charge $105. However, most of the practitioners on our team offer sliding scale rates that are based on your income so your rates may be lower. If you think you may qualify for income-based sliding scale rates, be sure to ask your premarital counselor during your consultation session.
Is This Program Appropriate For Same Sex or Non-Traditional Couples?
Yes. We work with same-sex and heterosexual couples. We help you explore points of common conflict for every couple, the strengths and vulnerabilities of your unique relationship, and teach you effective strategies for avoiding future problems before they start.
If there are aspects of your relationship that you would like to address in premarital counseling that may not be identified through our standard assessment, please let your premarital counselor know and we will be happy to accommodate your needs.
