Start Your Marriage Strong
Pre-Marriage Counseling at Bear Creek Community Church
Lavon, TX and Southeast Collin County
You're planning the wedding of your dreams. But are you prepared for the marriage of a lifetime?
Wedding planning can consume months of your time—choosing venues, tasting cakes, and perfecting every detail. But here's what we know: the couples who invest in their marriage before the wedding are the ones who thrive for decades after.
The Challenges Every Couple Face
Even couples deeply in love face real challenges:
How do we handle money decisions together?
What happens when we disagree about big things?
How do we navigate differences in our backgrounds and families?
What if we're not communicating as well as we thought?
Research shows that couples who skip pre-marriage preparation are significantly more likely to struggle. But here's the encouraging news: couples who do invest in preparation are 31% less likely to divorce and report 30% higher satisfaction in their marriages.
