PREMARITAL COUNSELING COURSE

            

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!  This course is available to anyone/anywhere.
This Premarital Counseling Course covers the areas of conflict management,
communication skills, finances, children and family responsibilities, sex and birth control,
and personal values.   Most couples will find it an enjoyable and enriching experience as you  learn more about each other.  No course can answer each and every question of life. 

This premarital course is meant to be a beginning not an ending.
It will get you started on the constructive path towards more open communication and a stronger marital union.  Although it is not all encompassing, it will lead you to deeper thought and perhaps deeper questioning in regards to enriching your marriage.

Although private practice counseling is quite expensive, we have attempted to
reduce the costs as much as possible so that everyone can benefit from this course.
It consists of 27 pages and several different areas concerning marriage.  The cost
is only $295.  It is included in any wedding package.

 

 You can order this course by elisabery@yahoo.com  The premarital course will be sent to you by elisabery@yahoo.com attachment or if you request, by regular mail.

In answer to the high cost per hour of counseling which makes it inaccessible to many, this course was put together
to fill a gap.  You will find it an enriching and beneficial experience in question format.  It takes approximately four
hours to complete.   If you require a completion certificate, send in the last two pages by fax.

II used your premarital counseling questions today during a six hour marathon session with a couple from Colorado, It worked great, and we covered a lot of ground. I was looking for a question format, rather than a lecture format, and you really helped me. Thanks a bunch!
 (P.S. Used in conjunction with the FOCCUS premarital inventory---their answers today were consistent with their inventory findings.)

Rev. Berry,

Jenny and Jules here. We were naive to think we could work through the course as quickly as we would have liked, but after beginning, we realized we WANT to take our time with it.
Your course is very thorough, thought provoking, and poses excellent questions that are bringing issues and topics to the forefront that we had never thought to discuss in this past year of our engagement. We are about half-way through and put in about 5 hours already. We'll be in touch when we have completed the course and thank you once again for everything!

Peace to you,
Jenny and Jules
Thank you for sending it so quickly. I also want to thank you for making such a course available publicly over the internet. My Fiance and I wanted to complete a course like this but we are from Pennslylvania and the only way to get something like this is to pay a lot of money for counseling. Which we just don't have. We just bought a house and are getting married in Florida on September 2. My Fiance Santo called The Palm Beach County Clerk and got all the information we needed, she also told us even though we are not residents if we completed a premarital course we would recieve the discount which would be great.  We are very excited about our upcoming marriage and love each other dearly, we can't wait to spend a lifetime with one another! Thank you again for this course, we hope it strengthens our already solid relationship even more.

This course was extremely enlightening. Initially, when I got the packet and looked it over, I thought to myself that it would be easy and we would breeze through it.  To my surprise, it took us approximately a week and a half, much longer that the proposed 4 hours. 

The course led us to discuss things that we had not anticipated and it was good for us.  It helped us to identify areas where we needed to mature and other areas where we are on one accord!  I must admit, keeping God first in our lives has been instrumental in the success of our relationship.  Without Him, there is no us and because we know that, it enables us to look at things differently and more patiently that some might. I would recommend this course to anyone who is undertaking the journey of marriage.  The course raises some key issues that need to be addressed and understood before marriage, not after the wedding. 

 We think one of the biggest things that made the course such a success for us was that, because it was just the two of us, without a counselor, we were able to be more open and honest with each other than we might have been with a stranger in the room.  We were able to laugh at each other, laugh at ourselves and have serious discussion as well.  We  literally enjoy the experience. 

Thank you, Reverend Berry, for making this course available to us.  God Bless. 

Tyrone & Renata
