Premarital Counseling FAQ

What is the primary goal of premarital counseling?

Premarital counseling is a preventative clinical intervention designed to help couples resolve underlying issues and establish relationship standards before marriage. It allows couples to get ahead of challenges like communication gaps or family conflict using research-backed tools.

​

How does premarital counseling work at Maverick Marriage Therapy?

We begin by building an authentic relationship with each partner to identify your ultimate goals. Using the Gottman Method framework, we address specific categories including finances, sexuality, conflict boundaries, and family dynamics tailored to your unique relationship needs.

​

How long does the premarital counseling process take?

Our premarital therapy is brief and solution-focused. While a full curriculum typically spans six months to one year, the duration and frequency of sessions (weekly or bi-weekly) are adjusted based on your initial assessment and scheduling needs.

​

How much does premarital counseling cost in Marietta?

Costs are based on the therapist's experience level and session length. While Maverick Marriage Therapy does not accept insurance directly, we provide a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
