Start Your Marriage With Clarity and Confidence
An 8-Week Premarital Intensive for Couples in Dallas and Virtually Throughout Texas
You want more than a checklist before the wedding. You want to actually feel ready.
This is a structured, 8-week premarital intensive consisting of eight weekly sessions built on the Prepare-Enrich curriculum, designed for couples who want real preparation, not just a box to check. Rather than open-ended sessions, we work through a set arc covering the conversations that matter most before you say “I do,” including topics couples often don’t think to raise until they’re already married.
You might recognize this:
You’ve talked about the wedding more than the marriage
You’re not sure what topics you’re even supposed to cover before getting married
You want a clear endpoint, not months of ongoing sessions
You and your partner come from different families, cultures, or expectations, and want to build a shared foundation on purpose
How This Works
Over the course of 8 weekly sessions, we move from understanding how you each communicate and handle conflict, to unpacking family and cultural expectations, to working through finances, roles, and intimacy, and culminating in a shared foundation you both helped build.
The Premarital Intensive is a structured 8-week program that includes eight weekly sessions for $800.00, built on the Prepare-Enrich curriculum, reflecting the structured preparation this format provides and a package rate for committing to the full curriculum upfront.
Please note that in the state of Texas, upon completion of an approved 8-session premarital counseling course, you will receive a $60 discount toward your marriage license fee. You will also be eligible to have the 3-day waiting period waived. WPIT is approved to provide a certificate of completion for couples who attend all 8 sessions.

Since the intensive runs weekly over 8 sessions, plan for at least 2–3 months before your wedding date. Many couples start 4–6 months out, which allows room for the occasional rescheduled session without feeling rushed and gives you time to apply for your marriage license with the completion certificate in hand, since the Texas discount and waived waiting period only apply if you complete the course before applying.
