Help for Your Marriage ...

We provide three primary forms of marital assistance:

  - Premarital Counseling for engaged couples;

  - Marriage Coaching for couples seeking to improve their level of satisfaction in marriage;

  - Short-term Crisis Counseling for couples dealing with marriage-threatening issues.

Our approach to helping couples is based on a few simple concepts:

  1. Marriage is not easy. But it can be good. In fact, with a little guidance, some hard work,

  and a lot of prayer, it can be great.

  2. There are no perfect marriages. There are no hopeless marriages. There are only

  marriages in need of various degrees of help.

  3. Every marriage can improve through on intentional focus on one or more of the 8 Marks of 

  a Healthy Marriage.

Based on these understandings, we pursue a short-term "coaching" approach with the majority of couples. The process works like this:

1. Click HERE to schedule an initial assessment appointment using our online scheduling system. Or simply call 317.888.6024 to schedule an appointment.

2. During your initial assessment appointment, we'll review your situation and collect certain additional information. After the initial assessment appointment you'll receive a written report from us summarizing your situation and our suggestion for proceeding.

3. Assuming you decide to continue, we'll meet for 6 to 9 additional sessions, coaching you to implement new strategies in one or more of the 8 Marks of a Healthy Marriage, which will ultimately increase the level of satisfaction in your marriage.

Our premarital counseling involves six one-hour sessions, with limited additional work outside of the sessions, that will help an engaged couple build a marriage on a lasting and solid foundation.
