Pre-marriage Counseling
Disaster responders report that the biggest spike in the sale of earthquake preparedness kits is AFTER there has been an earthquake. Unfortunately, many couples take the same approach to their marriage, not seeking help until their problems are too big to ignore.
In his pre-marital coaching, Dr. Fibus uses a technique he calls “future pacing.” This involves looking ahead to see where problems might arise in the future and to deal with them now, before they materialize.
This “rehearsal” training allows couples to be more conscious of potential breakdowns, to take problems seriously and to forge their own effective communication tools instead of relying on the way “everyone else” around them manages their own not-so-successful relationships.
Planning and practicing pays off, whether this is a first marriage or a re-marriage for one or both partners. In an extremely safe environment, the couple is nurtured through discovery into a place where their relationship is as good in reality as it is in their imagination.
“I help individuals and couples to create and maintain healthy, high-functioning and
positive romantic relationships that meet
their highest ideals.”
