Any recommendations for online premarital counselling programs?

Before looking for a counselling service, you might want to clarify what type of counsel you need.

For example, for general council on the joys and jobs in marriage, the mainstream counselling providers are appropriate.

If the issue is specific, for example the issues surrounding FIFO work on the marriage and family, sometimes contacting the HR area of the employer can provide access to specialist counsellors.

When you contact a counselling service, make sure the fees are clear and all inclusive, and the time and number of sessions is clear.

Ask what type of therapy they use, what are their qualifications, and most importantly, what outcome do they aim to provide you with.

Good luck.

I have many options please contact me via my website  - treasured ceremonies

Yes, Relationship Australia is one of the best!

As a celebrant, you will be given a brochure ,to where to go, if needed.

This is required by law to be given.

If a couple were to ask me, personally, I would suggest, that they discuss the following before the wedding ceremony,

What ideas do they have in bringing up children,

Finances, e.g. who will work, how long, and when do they intend to start a family,,how many children,

How will they handle difficult new relations, e g. moth in laws etc

Where will they live, on their own, or move in with parents for a while to save money,

All in all, what kind of a marriage do they want together

The wedding is a day in your life, but a marriage will need to be strong to endure a lifetime together!

Cheers,

Angela.

 I would personally recommend "Relationships Australia" They offer face to face or online realtionship counselling www.relationships.org.au 

There is also Centacare and  Anglicare which come under the unberalla of the Catholic and uniting Churches. Learning how to communicate with each right from the start is always a good skill to develop. All the very best. Carleen

There are many counselling services available throughout Australia, but I feel that couples who are about to be married should be talking to family if they are unsure. As a celebrant I can offer advice but like any major changes in life, couples should discuss with their celebrant and others as they would for other everyday situations.

Firstly, what a sensible question and you should  be commended for seeking any advice which will benefit you and your partner, and your families.
