Pre-Marital / Marriage Preparation Counselling

 

Prepare for Marriage — with Intention, Depth & Heart

 

Why do a Pre-marital or Marriage Preparation Programme?

​

Marriage is one of life’s greatest commitments. It’s also a journey — full of joy, growth, challenges and change. Whether you’ve been together a few months or many years, preparing thoughtfully before you say “I do” can help you build a stronger foundation for a lifetime together.

At Klove Cradle, I offer a tailored Pre-marital / Marriage Preparation Programme — not a one-size-fits-all workshop, but a personalised, couple-centered journey to help you enter marriage with clarity, connection, and confidence.

What’s Different About What I Offer?

​

🌿 Evidence-based & Researched: The Gottman Method

I use the Gottman Method — developed by relationship experts through decades of research — as the backbone of our work. This gives couples access to proven tools and insights that strengthen emotional connection, communication, and long-term relationship health. Listening 

 

🤝 Tailored to You (Not a Template)

Every couple is unique. That’s why our sessions are shaped around your history, values, concerns, hopes, and dreams — not a preset agenda. We explore what matters most to you personally and you as a couple — ensuring that what you build together really belongs to you two.

How This Programme Helps You Build a Strong Foundation

 

• Deepen Understanding & Shared Awareness

Before marriage, many assumptions remain unspoken — about values, finances, family, life goals. Through guided discussions, you’ll create a shared map of what matters: values, dreams, priorities, hopes. This clarity helps avoid surprises later. Social Work Institute+1

 

• Communicate with Empathy & Respect

Learning to speak your truth — and to listen with empathy — is key. The Gottman-based tools help you communicate about sensitive topics (money, roles, expectations) in ways that build connection, not conflict. The Gottman Institute+1

 

• Build Shared Meaning, Dreams & Vision

Beyond daily routines and responsibilities — what kind of life do you want together? What values matter most? What dreams do you want to pursue together? This programme helps you find shared meaning, align goals, and begin crafting a shared vision for your life ahead.

 

• Strengthen Trust & Commitment Before the Vows

Trust and commitment aren’t just words — they’re habits, values, and understanding. By examining what trust and commitment mean to you both, you enter marriage with intentionality and assurance, rather than hope or uncertainty.

 

• Lay a Flexible Yet Solid Foundation

Your relationship will grow and change. What matters is building a foundation that is rooted — not rigid. With tools for communication, values clarity, shared meaning and emotional connection, you’ll have a resilient base to adapt and grow together.

 

​

Who Is This For

• Engaged couples preparing for marriage.

• Long-term partners wanting to strengthen readiness before taking the next step.

• Couples who want a thoughtful, values-based approach — not just “wedding checklist” preparation.

• Couples coming from different backgrounds (culture, religion, family dynamics) seeking to build shared understanding.

 

​

What to Expect

• Private, safe, non-judgmental space for honest conversations.

• A series of sessions tailored to your relationship — exploring values, communication, dreams, expectations, and meaning.

• Practical tools — not just theory — that you can use for life: how to talk about money, handle decisions, understand each other’s emotional needs, nurture connection, and build shared rituals.

• Focus on your strengths as a couple — not just what needs “fixing.”
