Pre-Marital & Pre-Engagement Counseling
Building a Strong Foundation for Your Future
Congratulations on taking this important step in your relationship journey! At Daymark, we believe that preparing for marriage is one of the most significant investments you can make in your future together. Our pre-marital and pre-engagement counseling services are designed to equip you with the tools and insights needed to build a strong, life-giving marriage.
Pre-Marital Counseling: Preparing for a Lifetime Together
Pre-marital counseling is a valuable opportunity for engaged couples to explore and strengthen their relationship before saying "I do." Our approach focuses on helping you develop a solid foundation that can withstand the challenges and celebrate the joys of life together.
During three to eight sessions, tailored to your unique needs, we'll guide you through discussions on core areas that often impact marital satisfaction:
- Financial management and goals
- Intimacy and sexual expectations
- Navigating extended family relationships
- Effective communication strategies
- Spiritual growth as a couple
These sessions provide a safe space to address potential areas of conflict, enhance your understanding of each other, and align your expectations for married life.
The Prepare/Enrich Survey: A Tool for Growth
As part of our pre-marital counseling, Daymark counselors utilize the renowned Prepare/Enrich Survey. This comprehensive assessment helps identify your relationship's strengths, growth areas, and potential challenges. By pinpointing these aspects early, we can tailor our counseling to address your specific needs, setting you up for a stronger start to your marriage.
Pre-Engagement Counseling: Discerning Your Path Forward
For couples in serious relationships who are contemplating marriage, our pre-engagement counseling offers a valuable opportunity for reflection and discernment. This service is flexible, available for individuals or couples, and designed to help you explore your readiness for marriage.
In these sessions, we'll help you:
- Evaluate your compatibility and shared values
- Discuss expectations for the future
- Identify potential areas of concern
- Strengthen your communication skills
- Explore the role of faith in your relationship
Our goal is to provide you with clarity and confidence as you consider taking the next step in your relationship.

Whether you're engaged or considering engagement, our counseling services offer a valuable investment in your relationship's future. By addressing potential challenges early and building on your strengths, you're laying the groundwork for a resilient, joyful, and God-centered marriage.
At Daymark, we're honored to walk alongside you during this exciting time.
