What do we mean when we say a house?

As Drs. John and Julie Gottman teach us, we mean that a house requires a strong foundation, sturdy walls that hold it up, and a clear entrance in and out of the relationship. A relationship needs these things too.

Pre-Marital Counseling can help you build your relationship hous by providing the following:

1. Dedicated time and space to express your concerns, worries, and encouragements as you take on this life-long commitment

2. Challenge the assumptions you have about relationships: how communication works, how conflict is resolved, etc.

3. Support your relationship through creating and setting boundaries that help your relationship.

Even though the Gottman Method can be a helpful one, it is not the only tool we provide to our clients. Tools and strategies are customized to your specific relationship from scholars and interventions like Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Family Systems Theory and more!
