Premarital Counseling
Preparing for a fun and fulfilling life together

While I do not require premarital counseling in order to perform your wedding ceremony, many couples feel it's a good way to start off their new life together. If you're interested in pre-marital counseling, I highly recommend the PREPARE program. Note that this premarital counseling program are not religion-based.

Once you find a counselor for the PREPARE program, the counselor will start you off by asking you to fill out questionnaire, asking all sorts of questions about your goals and beliefs about marriage and life. Afterwards, there are 3-6 premarital counseling sessions. It is a great program (and it's fun!)

If you are interested in this program, there is a counselor-finding service for PREPARE which will help you to find a counselor anywhere in the US. You just enter the zip codes that you'd like to see counselors for (or you can search the whole state). There are dozens of counselors that offer this program, but they are all trained the same way.
An online PREPARE program is now also available. You don't get quite the complete counseling program, as there are a few parts are too complicated to evaluate without a counselor, but it's very close to the complete program and their fee is only $30.
I hope this information helps. If you have any other questions about pre-marital counseling, or anything else, I'm always here for you.

Marriage counseling question:

Rev. Coleman, I noted on your web site that you have some contacts regarding couples/marriage counseling. Both my fiancé's and my parents are divorced, my father twice. I work in the legal field, which has an incredibly high rate of divorce. Considering this background, I think that my fiance and I will benefit from professional assistance as we prepare to spend the rest of our lives together. Are there any particular people that you recommend? Any information that you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for all of your help!

Answer:

Yes, I would love to refer you to the best counselor in town - his name is Lou Bartholome, 952-746-6164. Lou is the best in the business, there is NO ONE else who even comes close.

Note that if you mark on your individual health insurance that you are going in to see him for psychiatric counseling (not marital counseling...you're just going in to see a counselor, and happen to be bringing your boyfriend or husband along), visiting a counsel is often covered under your health insurance.

Not only is pre-marital counseling helpful (and fun!), but your visit or visits sets up a precedent in your relationship, so that when there is a need once you're married (and this kind of need will almost certainly come up) for talking things through with a helpful third-party, you've already seen Lou before and it's much easier to go in to all chat together.

Warm regards,

Rev. Tomkin Coleman
