Premarital therapy is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for marriage. Premarital therapy helps a couple identify weaknesses or issues that may become a problem during marriage. Premarital therapy is based on strengthening and better understanding your relationship. By better understanding the relationship a couple can constructively prepare for future challenges and conflicts that everyone will inevitably face at some point in their marriage.
A study was published in 2006 by Howard Markham, Scot Stanley, and P.R. Amato out of the University of Denver. They discovered that pre-marital education reduces the divorce rate of participants by thirty percent.
