No other relationship in life is quite like the marriage relationship. God designed for it to be the closest, most intimate human relationship that a man and a woman can form in this life. The marriage covenant is intended to be a strong bond and it will be at its strongest when it is consciously made before God. When Christ is the center of your marriage, you will be able to weather life’s storms without facing shipwreck.

While it is impossible for two people to know everything about each other prior to the wedding, the engagement period can be a valuable time of getting to know each other. Many topics can be addressed during this time, including living expectations, finances, sex, and child-rearing. Since these are all issues that will arise at some point in your marriage, it is wise to discuss these things with your potential spouse before you say “I do.”

This is where Christian premarital counseling in Simi Valley, California comes in. The goal of pre-marriage therapy is to guide you through the process of laying the foundation for a solid marriage, anchored in the grace of God, which will enable you to withstand whatever adversity comes your way. It is not just for the hard times, however. Christian premarital counseling in Simi Valley can help you more fully appreciate and enjoy the times of relative peace as well.
