You’re preparing for a life together. Maybe you’re newly engaged, newly committed, or simply ready to deepen the foundation you’ve already built. You love each other but you also know that love alone isn’t enough. You want to enter this next chapter with clarity, tools, and a shared understanding of what it means to truly show up for one another.

​

Premarital therapy at Rising Tides is designed for discerning couples who value depth, emotional clarity, and intentional preparation. This isn’t a checklist or a formality. It’s a space to explore your relational patterns, strengthen your communication, and lay the groundwork for a partnership that can weather both joy and complexity.

​

We’ll use the Prepare/Enrich framework: a research-backed assessment that helps us explore key areas like communication, conflict styles, roles, expectations, intimacy, and family dynamics. But the real work happens in the conversations we build together: honest, attuned, and emotionally precise.

​

The Format:

• 6-session package

• Each session is 90 minutes.

• Additional sessions available if desired.

​​

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of each other, a shared language for navigating challenges, and a renewed sense of connection and commitment.

​

This work is for couples who want to:

​

• Strengthen emotional intimacy before marriage

• Understand and honor each other’s relational histories

• Build tools for navigating conflict with care

• Clarify expectations around roles, values, and future plans

• Create a shared vision for the relationship you’re building

Whether you’re preparing for a wedding or simply preparing for a life together, this is your chance to invest in the relationship, not just the event.
