Thinking About Getting Married? Here’s Why a Premarital Therapy Intensive Might Be the Best Thing You Do for Your Relationship
If you're engaged, in a long-term relationship, or seriously talking about building a life together, you're probably planning a lot. The venue, the playlist, the seating chart… but what about your relationship?
At Grounded Growth Therapy, we help couples create strong, connected partnerships that last. Our Premarital Therapy Intensives are designed to give you the space, tools, and support you need to start your marriage off right—without spending months in weekly sessions.
What’s a Premarital Therapy Intensive?
A Premarital Intensive is like relationship bootcamp—but in a good way. It’s a one-day or two-day deep dive that gives you and your partner a chance to slow down, tune in, and talk through the big things that actually matter in marriage.
We’ll cover everything from how you handle conflict to how you connect emotionally and physically. You'll walk away feeling more grounded, more in sync, and way more prepared to tackle the real-life stuff that comes after the big day.
Why Couples Love Premarital Intensives
This isn’t about fixing something that’s broken—it’s about being intentional. You love each other, and you want to go into marriage with your eyes open, your hearts connected, and a game plan for keeping your relationship strong.
Here’s what a Premarital Therapy Intensive can help you with:
-Getting on the same page about values, goals, and dreams
-Learning to communicate without things blowing up
-Understanding each other’s emotional wiring (and triggers)
-Building tools to stay connected through stress, parenting, or career changes
-Talking about money, sex, family, and everything in between—without the awkwardness
What We’ll Talk About
We blend the best of PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy), Imago, and Gottman Method to guide you through the conversations and skills that really matter. You’ll explore:
-How you each handle stress and conflict
-Your communication styles and attachment needs
-Family patterns and how they show up in your relationship
-How to build emotional safety, rituals of connection, and lasting intimacy
-What you both want—short-term and long-term
We also make space to talk about sex, finances, parenting, and anything else that’s on your mind.
Is This Right for Us?
If you’re:
-Engaged and planning a wedding
-Thinking about getting engaged

…then yes, a Premarital Intensive is for you.
We work with couples of all backgrounds, genders, and orientations. You don’t have to be in crisis. You just have to want to grow together and build something solid.
