    Premarital Therapy for Couples in Killeen, TX

    Are you and your partner preparing to take the next step in your relationship? As you plan your journey toward marriage, it’s essential to invest in the strength and resilience of your partnership—which is where premarital therapy comes into play. While you may feel preoccupied as you plan your honeymoon or sort out where to purchase your forever home, you should be sure to prioritize counseling so that your marriage’s foundation is rooted in longevity and success.  

    At Moving Forward Therapy and Beyond, our premarital therapists are here to support you as you navigate this new chapter in life. Let us show you what makes us the trusted premarital therapy provider in Killeen, Texas. 

    Benefits of Premarital Counseling 

    Premarital therapy can help you and your significant other improve your relationship by helping you develop better communication skills, learn conflict management, uncover your shared core values, and identify differences that could create future conflict. While many couples choose to go to therapy after they’ve started struggling with disagreements, it’s important to note that premarital therapy isn’t just for couples experiencing problems in their relationship. In fact, couples can benefit from counseling at any stage of their relationship, including when: 

    • Planning for marriage – As you prepare to embark on the journey of marriage, premarital counseling can help you address important topics and set realistic expectations. 
    • Seeking relationship enhancement – Even if your relationship is strong, premarital therapy offers an opportunity to deepen your connection, enhance communication skills, and strengthen your bond. 

    The intimate nature of marriage requires that you talk to your partner about everything, no matter how awkward or uncomfortable. Premarital therapy will help you learn how to be a better listener, and how to make your voice and needs heard in a productive and positive manner. 

    Addressing Conflict 

    Disagreements happen—but how do you address them within your relationship? Premarital therapy will show you all the best ways to handle conflict in your marriage. When you live with someone, it’s almost inevitable that you will have disagreements ranging from the very mundane to more serious issues. How you communicate plays a large role in the health of your marriage. When you turn to Moving Forward Therapy and Beyond, our premarital therapists can explain to you and your partner how to de-escalate arguments so you don’t cause emotional pain from things that may be said in the heat of the moment. 

    What to Expect 

    In premarital counseling, we will likely bring up topics that you’ve discussed with your partner previously, as well as subjects you haven’t broached before. This fresh perspective from an objective third party may uncover new details about your relationship. This is also an excellent time for us to find unexpected areas where you disagree and give you the tools to handle possible future conflict.
