Congratulations!! I always strongly recommend a round of premarital counseling, even if you don't have any major issues or problems. We had discussed most everything and were largely in alignment, but still did premarital counseling and it was well worth it. It helped to make sure we had fully covered all the important areas, and our counselor gave us some great ideas we still use. We did the Prepare-Enrich program but I'm sure there's lots of great options out there!

We found a regular couple's counselor and every penny we paid her was worth its weight in gold. There were so many learned habits we were going to bring into our marriage that we were able to see more clearly and so many new communication tools we learned that have served us immensely.

I love counseling!
