What can you do to prepare for life together? How do you envision growing as individuals and as a couple? Do you know your own and each other’s strengths and weaknesses? Have you discussed the challenges that you will face as you make the transition to a long-term emotionally committed relationship?

Believe it or not, there are many issues that newlyweds do not discuss prior to the big day. Knowing about how each of you feel about personal values and lifestyle issues can make a big difference in how connected you feel now and in the future.

Our Marriage Preparation Program will give you the opportunity to discuss important considerations around topics such as raising children (do you both want to have children?), double-income families, step-families, second marriages, multiculturally diverse backgrounds, relationships with in-laws, intimacy and differences in sexual desire levels.

Preparing for Life Together: Laying the Foundation for a Lasting Relationship
A Marriage Preparation Program for Couples

This half-day pre-marital counselling program is tailored to you individually and as a couple.
Preparing for Life Together will help you with the daily challenges of living together in a committed relationship.

Participating in this program will help you:

  • Gain valuable new insights about love and relationships
  • Create a shared vision of the life you would like to have together
  • Know the difference between shared values and shared interests
  • Let go of expectations that inhibit closeness
  • Discover new ways to overcome communication gridlock
  • Learn skills that will help you stay together while growing as individuals

Preparing for Life Together is designed for pre-marital couples of all ages and relationship experience. This is not a group process, nor is it a workshop. It is a personalized four-hour private counselling session with just the two of you. You will be given a workbook to take home with you afterwards which includes some experiential learning activities, explanatory notes and a bibliography for further reading.

In this Couple-to-Couple session (we work as a husband-and-wife co-counselling team), you will have the opportunity to discuss openly any personal concerns that you may have.

You'll explore some of the challenges that newlyweds -- and in fact, all couples -- face. You will learn how to grow together as individuals, while maintaining an emotionally close and committed relationship. And you'll come away from the session with new insights and valuable skills to help move your relationship forward.


Our regular counselling fees range from $175.00 - $200.00 per hour, but we are offering this special 4-hour premarital session for only $600.00 + GST (per couple).


Payment Options: To ensure that the time you choose is exclusively yours -- we require a 50% deposit by credit card or Interac Email Money Transfer. The balance of your payment is paid at the end of the session (or in installments, which can be arranged when you are here). We accept payments in person by VISA, MasterCard, AMEX, Debit Card, Cheque or Cash.

Counselling services may be covered by some Extended Health Insurance Plans. (Please check with your Provider or call us to discuss this option.)
