Safe Journey Counseling:
Marriage Pre Marriage and Family Counseling in Scottsdale, AZ








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. It is
also one of the most difficult jobs. 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."
The foundation of the relation is damaged, trust has been broken, both are tired of fighting and trying, so many give up.
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.














   The difference between these couples is based on learning
   useful methods to overcome the obstacles in their life and
   build a friendship with unconditional love, respect and
   admiration.

  If you wish to be part of the 50% of the population that remain happily married,
 you need to take action. Things will not change by wishing and hoping.
