FAQ
Premarital Counseling
by the Nations Top Marriage Counselors
This list sends you to The First Dance, a premarital education organization focused exclusively on the family dynamics of wedding planning (Modern Bride Trendsetters in 2007). The First Dance is co-owned by Registry co-founder Bill Doherty and is offered as a free service to help our therapists advertise their premarital counseling practice to engaged couples. We are growing our listing so check back in a month or two.
Welcome to the premarital counseling section of Marriage Friendly Therapists. We have the most elite list of highly experienced, licensed marriage therapists in the nation. Many of them love working with engaged couples on preparing for their marriage.
If you contact a therapist below, let them know you are seeking help to prepare for your marriage, not seeking therapy. They have agreed to be listed with The First Dance and are excited to work with you.
Note that some are open to telephone counseling. With free long distance on many cell phones these days you may wish to utilize this option. See states below or view only telephone premarital counseling.
