Examples of Topics to Discuss in Pre-Marital Counseling
Couples counseling before engagement or after engagement can be a wise way to start off your family dynamics on the right foot. Here are a few examples of topics you may want to discuss with your future spouse during pre-marital counseling/therapy:
Money/Finances: what does money mean to each of you or what does money symbolize for you? Will you join accounts or continue to have separate accounts?
Career Goals: what do each of your career goals look like, and how does that fit into your goals as a couple or family?
Parenting: do you want children? If so, what will each of your parenting styles look like?
Religion and/or Spirituality: do you want to practice a religion, faith, or belief system? Do you want your partner to participate in it? If you are having children, do you want your children to follow those beliefs as well?
Family: what will the extended family involvement in your marriage look like? What type of relationship do you want to have with your in-laws?
