Pre-Marital Counseling

Samaritan Counseling Center believes that a strong marriage begins with a healthy start. Pre-marital counseling is an excellent way to kick off a long and happy marriage. In fact, Samaritan has a new, innovative program--Firm Foundation--to help couples explore the many aspects of their relationship and learn how to build a solid foundation for their lives together. The program is designed to help couples identify their strengths and weaknesses; participate in break-out groups to discuss crucial issues, including: communication, conflict resolution, sexuality, spiritual beliefs, finances; and set goals together in a final, private session.
