Premartial Counseling

Service Description

Before the vows and the venue, before the table settings and honeymoon plans, there is the relationship itself. A relationship called into being by love, shaped by faith, and sustained through daily choice. We’re Jon and Jules, a husband-and-wife team married for 27 years, and we believe marriage is more than a celebration. It is a covenant. A sacred commitment to grow, forgive, serve, and choose one another again and again. Love doesn’t need to be perfect, just practiced with intention, humility, and grace. Our premarital counseling sessions help couples prepare not only for a wedding day, but for a lifetime of partnership rooted in shared values and faith. We create a supportive, honest, and even joyful space to talk about the things that matter most: communication, conflict, intimacy, money, family dynamics, faith, expectations, and what it truly looks like to build a life together. We approach this work with deep respect for your faith, recognizing that strong marriages are built through both spiritual grounding and practical skill. Prayer and belief shape values; practice brings those values to life. Our work bridges that space. We go beyond traditional premarital counseling by combining relationship education with experiential practices that help insight become lived wisdom. You won’t just talk about connection, you’ll practice it—learning how to stay present when emotions run high, repair when conflict arises, and return to one another with curiosity and grace. Jon is a licensed psychologist with a PhD in Counseling Psychology and decades of experience in premarital and marriage counseling, men’s work, and creating emotionally safe spaces for honest conversation. Jules is a relationship and intimacy coach trained in the Somatica® Method, helping couples explore communication, desire, and connection in ways that honor body, heart, and spirit. Together, we balance insight with warmth, structure with compassion, and professional expertise with genuine care.
