Christian Premarital Counseling
Preparing the Two to Be One
Rev. Paul J. Bucknell

Everything you need to conduct premarital counseling
I recommend Christian premarital counseling for every couple. Just think of it. The great God who designed male and female also designed marriage. He knows how marriage best works! Why not see what He has to say?
The question is, "How does one conduct premarital counseling?" Many have not received any training in this area. I faced this same problem. As a pastor, I had to figure out how to conduct premarital counseling. The benefits were plainly evident. Session by session, couple by couple, I finally figured out a plan. I have since then enhanced it a bit and made it available to others. Everthing I need is here including forms.
Purpose: To aid pastors, elders and other church leaders involved in premarital counseling to challenge and prepare engaged couples to have good and godly marriages.
This premarital counseling manual is just the series to help you understand how to handle Christian premarital counseling. There are not many premarital counseling materials around. This series aids pastors, elders and other church leaders involved in premarital counseling to challenge and prepare engaged couples to have good and godly marriages.
This series includes handouts, worksheets and even an introductory questionnaire for the couple. Feel free to edit and reshape the material for your own situation.
Here is how I do it in 6 sessions. Instructions, explanations, handouts and forms included.
