| Marriage preparation Congratulations. You have decided to get married. Perhaps you feel that there are questions you would like to ask about your future life together, and issues that need to be talked through. That is certainly what I felt when I married 11 years ago, which is why I decided as a psychologist to offer marriage preparation to future newlyweds. Discussing a broad range of important topics can help you and your partner to understand your individual styles and learn communication and conflict resolution skills to enhance your relationship. Pre-marriage sessions offer a unique opportunity to celebrate your strengths as a couple and encourage exploration of areas that could create problems later on, such as communication, problem-solving, religion, family and friends, careers, cohabitation, parenting, sexuality and finances.  Click here to learn about FOCCUS, Inc. USA and the FOCCUS© Pre-Marriage Inventory. Couples who have been married more than two years can give their marriage a check-up with the REFOCCUS Marriage Enrichment Inventory. It contains a set of five relationship questionnaires with accompanying discussion questions which are helpful in giving your marriage a boost. |
