Before Marriage A key part of our pre-marriage counseling is addressing emotional baggage from past relationships, childhood experiences, or unresolved trauma. Unresolved emotional wounds can negatively affect new relationships, leading to misunderstandings and conflict. We help each partner identify and heal these emotional burdens so they can enter the marriage with a clean slate, free from the weight of past experiences. This emotional healing is crucial for creating a healthy, understanding partnership and avoiding frustration or trauma from carrying over into the marriage.
