Pre-Marital Counseling
Discover Yourself, Your Partner, & Your Relationship
At Illumine, we use the PREPARE/ENRICH program to assist with pre-marital counseling services. PREPARE/ENRICH is the leading program used both nationally and internationally to help couples who are preparing to share their lives together in the union of marriage. The PREPARE/ENRICH program helps to custom tailor the counseling sessions to the couple's strengths and weaknesses.
Pre-marital counseling at Illumine includes a couple's assessment and 6 sessions. The couple will have the opportunity to connect with their significant other in a safe and confidential setting with the assistance of a certified PREPARE/ENRICH professional. In the counseling sessions, couples will explore communication styles, conflict resolution, relationship dynamics, and other core components of healthly, happy, and thriving relationships.
