Before the vows

Jules & Jon bring you a premarital counseling experience rooted in faith and built for real life, helping couples strengthen communication, deepen connection, and co-create a sacred vision for marriage before saying “I do.”

Wise preparation for a sacred commitment.

Most couples spend months planning the wedding day and very little time preparing for the life that follows. Premarital counseling isn’t about fixing problems. It’s about setting a trajectory for long-term success right away.

 

Faith teaches commitment.


Preparation teaches practice.

Two ways to begin your marriage on purpose

Every couple is different. That’s why we offer two premarital counseling paths, one designed for couples who want a guided group experience, and one for couples who prefer fully personalized support. Couples are welcome to choose one or both.

Before The Vows Course

In a live, small, guided cohort, couples build core communication skills, shared language, and confidence around the conversations that matter most. The group format offers structure, perspective, and normalization—helping couples feel grounded and prepared as they begin marriage.

 

Many couples choose to start here, then continue into private premarital counseling to go deeper into their unique dynamic. Think of Before the Vows as the foundation, with private sessions offering personalization and depth.

Details

  • 5 guided sessions

  • Live on Zoom or in person (Denver only)

  • Limited couple seats for depth and connection

  • Thoughtful prompts, exercises, and private couple work

  • Ideal for couples who value structure and shared learning

 

By the end of Before the Vows, couples walk away with:

  • A shared understanding of communication and conflict

  • Clear language for intimacy, money, faith, and expectations

  • Awareness of patterns to strengthen or shift

  • Confidence moving into marriage as a team

  • Clarity on whether private counseling is a helpful next step

  • A strong foundation before the vows
