God created man and woman in His image to give each other support and companionship in a marriage covenant. However, marriage is under concerted attack by our surrounding culture both through devaluation of it via easy divorce, and through redefinition of the “one man- one woman” pattern that God outlined in scripture. Add to this the normal hardships of two sinners being joined together in matrimony and it is no wonder many marriages are doomed from the start.

While nothing can ever prepare a couple for every possible problem, Christian premarital counseling can help you think through many aspects of marriage so you will be equipped to deal with as many potential issues as possible once you say, “I do.”

Why should you get premarital counseling?

Far too many couples enter into marriage lightly or with little thought for its seriousness. Because of this, marriage is treated as something temporary that can be disposed of if it becomes inconvenient for either or both partners. However, since all marriages are made before the God of the Bible, marriage is a significant and sacred relationship that must be entered sober-mindedly.

Christian premarital counseling in Carrollton helps you understand the implications of marriage and can get your marriage off to a good start. That will enable you and your spouse to go the distance.

The professionals at Carrollton Christian Counseling understand how important premarital counseling can be. They will work with the engaged couple to help them learn about both the joys and challenges they may face in married life.

Some of the topics that may come up in premarital counseling include:

  • Roles and expectations of the husband and wife
  • Faith and spiritual development
  • Individual and family goals
  • Communication and emotional barriers
  • Dealing with anger
  • Conflict resolution
  • Decision making
  • Love languages
  • Sexual expectations
  • Relating to the in-laws
  • Financial planning
  • Children and parenting styles

All of these topics and more may be discussed in premarital counseling, especially considering the high rate of divorce in our society. It is wise to prepare in every way possible for any stressors your marriage may encounter. Carrollton Christian Counseling understands this and seeks to help couples get their marriage off to a solid start through Christian premarital counseling.

Christian premarital counseling employs proven counseling methods coupled with faith in Christ. The counselors at Carrollton Christian Counseling operate from within a Christian worldview that views the Bible as authoritative and recognizes the fallen nature of this world.

In preparing you for marriage, the Christian counselors at Carrollton Christian Counseling employ a comprehensive approach that addresses the whole person. They view heart issues as intimately connected with one’s emotional and physical well-being.

One vital part of preparing to get married is to have deep discussions about spirituality. This makes sure that you and your potential spouse are on the same page with your respective faith. Your therapist can help you work through this topic and will encourage you to be open and honest with each other about your religious convictions and how you live them out.
