Did you know, for most people pre marriage counseling is never put on the
                           list of important things to do before getting married. As a matter of fact, most couples
                           will spend more time and money planning their weddings, than they will planning their
                           marriages.

                           Marriage is one of the biggest decisions you will make in your life.  
                           At safe journey counseling, I provide couples with the most up to date tools to help
                           secure a happy future. I teach excellent communication skills, mutual respect, increase
                           level of fun, negotiation skills, learning to increase levels of intimacy and so much more.
                           The research shows that pre marriage counseling is beneficial. It also shows that most people do not
                           attend. This may explain why the divorce rate in this country is 50%. Those who do not participate in
                           pre-marriage counseling end up coming in for marriage counseling. By that time the marriage is in
                           serious trouble. There is so much anger and resentment at that point they are at the "end of the line."

                           I will teach you the strong communication skills that will help you avoid the pitfalls of those
                           who come to marriage counseling later.

                           Some state they do not need pre marriage counseling, they will figure it out on their own. But marriage is
                           not a puzzle, it is a set of skills. We need to be taught those skills by a seasoned professional that has
                           studied what makes marriages work and who has been successful keeping their own marriage together.
                           It never hurts to learn more. It never hurts to be more skilled. This is why pre marriage counseling is so
                           important. I am sure that your relationship already has many strong points to it, but don't let your
                           marriage fall prey to lack of skills.  Remember the foundation of a strong marriage depends on the
                           following:

                            1. Strengthening communication.

                           2. Deciding on role expectations.

                           3. Learning conflict resolution skills.

                           4. Child rearing practices.

                           5. Identify any problematic family of origin issues.

                           6. Develop personal, couple and family goals.



                            Remember, life is about choices. You can choose to either end up like the couple on the left,
                           or the couple on the right.  Call 480-250-1857
