Empower your marriage from the start

The never-ending list of things to accomplish before you get married can distract you from what’s most important: building a secure foundation for the journey you are about to embark on with the one you love most. Your wedding day will come and go. But, with both feet in and a committed investment, your marriage can last a lifetime. Premarital counseling can be a powerful way for you and your partner to prepare for the life you are creating together.

You may know your partner better than anyone else on the planet. But even the most connected couples need guidance in having conversations about deeper topics such as expectations, needs, values, money, family ideals, and intimacy.

How We’re different: 

Most other coaches offer quick fixes like 7 Steps to Better Communication or 5 Ways to Avoid Conflict. But if understanding and changing behavior were that easy, there wouldn’t be an over 50 percent divorce rate in the US. 

Lori offers a unique, comprehensive premarital coaching and counseling programs to help you understand and connect to each other’s unspoken needs, wants, values and perspectives. She’ll build on the strengths of your relationship and also shed light on the root causes and factors for why you and your partner interact the way you do—especially in times of stress, conflict and elevated emotions. With this new understanding and awareness, you’ll be empowered to successfully navigate any challenges that arise in your marriage, and continue to deepen your bond for years to come.
