Why Pre-Marital Counseling?

Renew Counseling is excited to focus on Pre-marital Counseling which is targeted towards couples that have been in a long term committed relationship with the hopes of eventually getting married, as well as couples who are currently engaged, and/or have been recently married.
 
Did you know that according to Healthy Research Funding, 93% of Americans consider a happy marriage to be one of their most important goals. Knowing this fact, we believe that couples should engage in dynamic sessions with a qualified therapist and focus on the health and success of their future as they come together as husband and wife. HRF statistics also show that couples are 31% less likely to get a divorce if they have had pre-marital counseling.
 
Pre-martial counseling is critical to the health and success of your marriage because it offers an opportunity for you and your partner to dig deep into the sometimes hidden and vulnerable areas of your lives. There may be areas of tension that have been ignored and need to be addressed. These issues may have never come up in dating but could possibly become tension points once married. Pre-marital counseling lowers significant risk factors as well as optimizes strengths that each person will bring into the marriage union.
 
Renew counseling offers pre-martial counseling with Jennifer Carosello, a certified facilitator with SYMBIS. SYMBIS stands for Saving, Your, Marriage, Before, It, Starts. SYMBIS is an online tool that allows couples to log on and take an online assessment. The SYMBIS assessment examines topics about religion, personality, family, upbringing, attitude towards money, sex, and much more. Strengths, weaknesses, and caution flags are reported and together we will discuss areas of concern and things that may need to be worked on.
