Why Take a Florida Premarital Preparation Course?

Great question! Taking our $19.99 four hour online course will save you $32.50 off your marriage license. Better yet, it will bring you closer to your future spouse and increase the probability of you both having a successful marriage. Additionally, you can avoid the three day wait and receive your marriage license the same day that you apply.

Again, besides the money and time savings you will gain by taking our premarital counseling course, you will learn to address potential problems with communication, financial decisions, and ensure that you each are meeting each other’s emotional needs.

As a psychologist and couples therapist, I have many years of experience helping couples avoid divorce and repair their marriages. It is much easier to learn the necessary skills early in the relationship before relationship dynamics become hardened. It is difficult to teach two old dogs new tricks.

One of the most important things for two individuals getting married is to discuss whether they plan to have children or not. Too often couples get married assuming that the other wants what they want. I often hear a man or woman say that I figured that after we married and were together for a couple of years that they would change there mind and want to have children. I often do not find people truly changing their minds about children. People do have children with their spouse despite wanting to in an effort to please them or after being cajoled to do so. If you have to cojole your spouse into having children, then this is problematic. Again, to avoid this dilemma, have this discussion prior to be married.

Fortunately, in our Florida Premarital Preparation Course, we address the discussion about having children among other things. We do hope you chose to take our course. We know that you will be satisfied with it.

In addition to taking our course, we do hope that you will marry in the state of Florida. There are so many beautiful parks, lakes, rivers, churches, and beaches to marry, from Miami to Sanibel to Pensacola, to Jacksonville, to Daytona, and to Fort Lauderdale and to everything sunny in between.

Congratulations on your future nuptials! We at D’Arienzo Psychological Group wish you the best of luck.

High standards produce mixed effects on marriages

There is a tension between what spouses demand from their marriages and what they are capable of attaining from those marriages, according to recent psychology research. High standards, whether in caring, support, or independence, improve satisfaction only in strong marriages. For less strong marriages, such as those involving higher levels of indirect hostility or more severe problems, high standards further erode the relationship.

Kissing helps us find the right partner – and keep them

Great article about the science behind kissing in short and long term relationships. The take away is that the human mouth is possibly like a dog’s nose, and that if you and your partner are not kissing as usual…you must have done something displeasing and you are in the dog house, or he or she is searching for better dog chow!

What’s in a kiss? A new study suggests kissing helps us size up potential partners and, once in a relationship, may be a way of getting a partner to stick around.

Marriage has morphed into a means of supporting intensive investments in children — ScienceDaily

Great article about marriage in our different social classes in the United States. To me, this article emphasizes, statistically, the importance of completing college and not having children prior to marriage as well as waiting to pursue marriage until both partners are financially secure. Marriage is tough and only the beginning of the process in weathering the storm of life together. If both parties need the other and are advantaged by the other, the marriage is more likely to be a success. Marriage is a TEAM effort. We offer a Florida premarital preparation course that will assist you in determining whether your prospective partner is the right person for you, as well as to resolve any unfinished business between the two of you.
