Marriage is one of the most meaningful commitments you’ll ever make—but preparing for your life together takes more than just picking a venue and writing vows. Premarital counseling is an intentional, supportive space for couples to explore key topics, deepen connection, and build a solid foundation before saying “I do.”
At Harvest Counseling & Wellness in Argyle, TX, we believe that healthy relationships are built—not born. Premarital counseling helps couples enter marriage with clarity, understanding, and tools for long-term success.
Why Premarital Counseling Matters
Many couples wonder, “Do we really need premarital counseling if we’re not having problems?” The truth is, counseling before marriage isn’t about fixing something broken—it’s about building something strong.
Research shows that couples who participate in premarital counseling report higher marital satisfaction and are better equipped to navigate conflict in healthy ways. Rather than reacting to issues after they arise, this process encourages you to be proactive and intentional.
Premarital counseling offers a space to slow down, ask the hard questions, and strengthen your relationship as you prepare for life together—not just a wedding day.
What Premarital Counseling Covers
Each couple is unique, but there are core areas that every relationship can benefit from exploring:
Communication Styles & Conflict Resolution
Learn how you both handle conflict, express needs, and listen well. Good communication is the heartbeat of any strong relationship.Family Background, Beliefs, and Expectations
Understand how your family experiences have shaped you and how they may influence your marriage.Money and Financial Goals
Discuss budgeting, saving, debt, and how financial decisions will be made together.Sexual Intimacy & Emotional Connection

Talk through if, when, and how you’d like to raise children, including parenting styles and values.
These aren’t one-time conversations—they’re the beginning of a lifelong dialogue that promotes mutual respect, unity, and growth.

Choosing to invest in your relationship before marriage communicates love, maturity, and commitment. Couples who engage in premarital counseling often experience:
Stronger emotional intimacy
