Set Yourself Up for a Successful Union With Premarital Counseling in Louisville CO

Are you a newlywed? Did you just get engaged? Are you and your partner looking to take your relationship to the next level emotionally, before tying the knot?

When you're considering marriage, premarital counseling might be last on your planning list, if it's there at all. While it's not an engagement topic that's very fun or romantic, a premarriage counselor can set your marriage up to succeed and survive long-term in spite of the odds. At Alex Fuller Psychotherapy, I work with Louisville, Colorado, couples like yourself to build a strong foundation for their future together. Through couples therapy at my practice, I address critical topics such as communication, conflict resolution, and shared values. This process can help to develop a deeper understanding of each other’s needs and desires, paving the way for a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

What Can Premarital Counseling Do for You?

Couples therapy helps romantic partners improve their relationship by helping both parties develop better communication skills, learn conflict management, uncover their shared core values, and identify differences that could create future conflict. By working with a premarriage therapist in the Louisville area, you can discuss expectations with your partner that will help better prepare both of you for marriage.

If any of these sound like you…

• You and your partner have arguments that don't get resolved
• You feel like you're always the one who has to compromise to keep the peace
• You're concerned about how your partner's financial situation will affect you as a married couple
• You're worried about losing affection or having a diminished sex life after marriage
• You want to find healthier ways to resolve conflict
• You want to resolve religious or financial differences
• You want to define your marital roles and expectations

Then premarital counseling can be a great benefit to both you and your partner.

Premarital counseling will help you learn how to be a better listener, and how to make your voice and your needs be heard in a productive and positive manner. It will also show you how to handle conflict. Learn how to de-escalate arguments and fight fairly, so you don't cause emotional pain from things you said that you'll never be able to take back.

My Approach to Premarital Counseling

My approach to premarital counseling is grounded in the belief that open, honest communication is key to a successful marriage. By providing a safe space for you and your partner, I help facilitate conversations that might be difficult to have on your own. With my training in PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) and over 25 years of mindfulness meditation practice, I integrate evidence-based methods to foster a deeper connection between you and your partner.

Premarriage counseling will likely bring up topics that you've discussed with your partner previously as well as subjects you hadn't considered before. This fresh perspective from an objective third party will uncover new details from your partner. This is also an excellent time for us to find unexpected areas where you disagree and give you the tools to handle possible future conflict. Whether you’re navigating financial issues, differences in values, or problems with emotional intimacy, my goal is to help you move forward together.
