FAQS
We are in a happy relationship and are getting married. Why should we do a premarital education class if we are happy?
That is great that you are in a happy relationship and congratulations! This class is designed to contribute to your relationship and will give you information to prevent or help deal with future problems.
Are the classes considered therapy?
The classes are considered educational. There will be some therapeutic aspects, but this won't be couple's therapy. The information you learn can benefit your relationship if you choose to apply what is learned.
What are the benefits if me and my partner decide to do the 21-day transformation challenge?
This is an opportunity for you and your partner to work on your goals together! As each person works on their goals to get healthy and support each other's goals, this will add to your strong foundation both physically and emotionally!
Questionnaire Responses from Some

the 6-hour marriage education weekend
When asked on the questionnaire, "What did you like best about the weekend?
One individual wrote, "I really enjoyed the opportunity to discuss/learn about different aspects in a designated setting." Her future husband wrote, "I liked the organization and tools to help you communicate."
Another individual wrote, "The program brought up questions & situations we hadn't thought to discuss - And we had positive & easy exercises to work through them." Her future husband wrote, "Learning the different ways of communication."
Each couple receives a binder with the information that was taught, and it includes the specific exercises that the couple completed. When asked on the questionnaire, "On a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being not likely to refer to this binder again and 10 being, I will for sure refer back to this binder to help support my marriage."
One individual circled the 10. Her future husband circled the 10 also.
