    How do we maintain our progress after the course?

    Keep the momentum going with regular check-ins and revisit the goals and commitments you established during the course. Consider setting 'relationship tune-ups' to track your growth and identify new areas to work on.

    What if we find we need more support after the 12 sessions are complete?

    If you feel you need additional guidance after the core sessions, we offer regular couple counseling sessions. These can be added to your course at a 50% discount, providing you book them within 30 days of purchasing the course. It's our way of ensuring you have continued support as you build your marriage.

    Can individual counseling be incorporated if one or both of us need personal support beyond the premarital topics?

    Definitely. For personal matters that require one-on-one attention or are not suited for the premarital format, individual counseling sessions are available. You can supplement your course with individual sessions at a 50% discounted rate, as long as they are booked within 30 days of your course purchase. This ensures that any personal issues that arise, or any longstanding matters, receive the dedicated support needed.

If you find you must cancel before this period, we will provide a prorated refund at $350 per session, which aligns with our standard rate for couple counseling sessions. This policy ensures that you have the opportunity to experience the course and determine its fit for your needs while also respecting the resources and planning that go into providing this service.

    Solid Foundations: Building a Marriage That Lasts" only for couples planning to get married, or can it benefit newlyweds and other couples as well?
