The wedding is one day. The marriage is every day after. Premarital counseling helps you understand each other more deeply, talk honestly about the things couples often avoid, and learn skills that carry you through the hard seasons.
Chris and Kayti are certified PREPARE/ENRICH facilitators. It is one of the most widely used and research-based premarital programs, and we lead it together as a married couple, bringing both training and real life to the room.
From first hello to the day itself.

Sessions together
We walk through your results and practice communication and conflict skills, at a pace that works for you.

A plan for your marriage
You leave with shared goals, tools you will actually use, and a clearer picture of the life you are building.
Ways we can shape it
- Communication and resolving conflict
- Finances and money habits
- Family of origin and in-laws
- Faith and shared values, whatever they are
- Roles, expectations, intimacy, and parenting
- Your goals and dreams for the years ahead
Practical details
- In Minnesota, 12 hours of premarital education that includes a premarital inventory lowers your marriage license fee to $50 instead of $125. We can provide those hours and sign the Educator's Statement your county requires.
- Available in person near St. Cloud or on Zoom.
- Pairs naturally with your wedding ceremony. Ask about doing both with us.
Do we need to be religious?
No. PREPARE/ENRICH works for couples of every faith and none.
What if we are already married?
The ENRICH version is built for married couples who want to grow or reconnect.
Is this therapy?
It is premarital education and coaching, not therapy. If deeper issues come up, we will help you find the right support.
