The love every woman desires is to have a wonderful handsome man draw her into his arms and make her feel special; loved, valuable, protected and cared for, this is her dream come true. But, the dating, the months of beautiful memories that are shared, and even the proposal does not prepare one for a lifetime of marriage and happily ever after. 

A wedding last a few hours, but a marriage is eternal. Marriage was created by Father-God, He designed it so the more the couple goes through, the closer they will become. 

It is important to evaluate some important decisions before a marriage, such as; are you compatible, do you have the same goal, and so on. 

Premarital counseling gives couples a good foundation and a head start in their marriage. 

When couples receive premarital counseling, there are high chances of things working out for the best. 

When Christ is the center of your lives, you will have a solid foundation to lean on, and trusting Him for your happiness and guidance makes a world of difference. 

Premarital counseling helps the couple to know better if their spouse is a healthy fit for marriage and if they truly are their soul mate. 

You will learn how to communicate better, how to handle disagreements constructively, identify the root cause of conflicts, and find solutions that address your partners needs. 

The reason Father-God designed marriage is to help us become Christ-like. Our differences teach us to get along. Walk in love, show kindness, be patient, long-suffering, gentle, live with a meek and humble heart. Forgive one another, repent (apologize) and stay in love. 

Premarital counseling opens our eyes to see the whole picture the way Father-God intended for marriage to be. 

 Premarital counseling is the most important part of any and all marriages.
