Should we go to couple’s therapy before getting married?

So, you’re engaged, planning a wedding, and thinking about forever. First off, congrats! But here’s a question that might be on your mind: Should we go to couples therapy before getting married? Spoiler: The answer is yes—and not because your relationship is in trouble, but because you want to make it even stronger.

1. Learn Better Communication Skills

No matter how strong your relationship is, every couple can benefit from improving their communication. Pre-marital therapy helps you learn tools to communicate more effectively—whether it’s navigating disagreements or discussing future plans like finances or family.

2. Discuss Important Issues Before They Arise

Couples therapy gives you the chance to talk about those big issues before they become problems. Money, kids, in-laws—these are things that will come up in your marriage, and it’s better to talk them through now instead of waiting until you’re stressed out and caught off guard.

3. Build a Strong Foundation

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and the more solid your foundation is, the better. Pre-marital therapy helps you strengthen your bond, so when life throws you curveballs (and it will), you’ll be equipped to handle them together.

4. Prevent Small Problems From Becoming Big Ones

Therapy can help you address any small concerns before they have a chance to turn into bigger issues. It’s about being proactive, not reactive. And who doesn’t want to head into marriage feeling like you’ve tackled any potential issues before they have a chance to grow?
