What to Expect When You Book

Couples considering premarital counseling often have questions about timing, session structure, and what topics will be covered. Below are answers to the most common concerns raised by couples in Louisville.

When should we start premarital counseling?
Most couples benefit from starting three to six months before the wedding, though you can begin earlier if you're planning a longer engagement. Starting early allows time to work through topics without the added stress of wedding logistics.
How many sessions do most couples attend?
Typically between six and ten sessions, depending on the complexity of the topics and how much time you want to spend on each area. Some couples continue occasional sessions after marriage for ongoing support.
What if we disagree on major topics like finances or children?
Premarital counseling is designed to surface those disagreements in a structured setting where you can explore different perspectives, identify compromise options, and determine whether you're aligned enough to move forward with confidence.
Do we need premarital counseling if we've been together for years?
Yes. Even long-term couples benefit from discussing marriage-specific expectations, legal and financial changes, and the shift in roles and responsibilities that come with formal commitment. The process helps prevent assumptions from causing conflict later.
Can premarital counseling help if we already have communication issues?
Absolutely. Kimberly works with couples to improve conflict resolution skills, reduce defensiveness, and build healthier communication patterns using tools that support both emotional safety and practical problem-solving in Louisville.
