"Hello, my name is Shauna Jankoviak with Perfectly Planned Weddings And Events here in Austin, Texas and today I'm going to be sharing some tips on how to prepare for marriage counseling. The couple should be aware that their wedding day is not the only aspect that they're celebrating. They're also celebrating their marriage. And with premarital counseling, it will definitely give them a better foundation in a start to their new life together. Now if the couple is highly no-religious ceremony, most churches do require premarital counseling with their minister that will be performing the ceremony. So just make sure to allow several months in advance to go to them and let them know that you would like to marry with their church and that you can get setup for any classes. Now if you're not going to be having a religious ceremony inside of a church, there are several different courses that are available in the community that you can apply for; that does offer the premarital counseling because whether you're religious or not, you do want to make sure to, to build the foundation needed for a good marriage. So the different resources for marriage classes; check with your community colleges; the ordained ministers in your area sometimes offer them or some of the marriage counselors in your area would also offer them as well.
