As we begin this course on premarital (PREPARE) and marital (ENRICH) counseling this first discussion will focus on expectations for premarital counseling. Address what is important to discuss in premarital counseling and provide support for this discussion. If you are married and received premarital counseling, what was helpful? What was awkward?
If you are not married, what do you envision your premarital counseling to be like based on your research of this topic? What would be appropriate/helpful based on scholarly research, PREPARE/ENRICH and biblical truths related to premarital counseling? Remember to support all work with research from reliable sources, e.g., peer-reviewed sources.
