“A few, core issues cause most marital strife for my clients. Let’s stop these problems before they start!”
Natalie Elliot, veteran marriage and family therapist and owner of Atlanta Sex Therapy
Completing our marriage workshop will allow you to —
Stop Worrying and Start Feeling Empowered
to take on anything life throws your way. All in ONE DAY!
Convenient
Life is busy enough, but add in planning for a Wedding, and woah! Who has time to commute to counseling once a week? Save that precious time and attend just one 8 hour workshop.
Connected
Big groups can feel a bit impersonal and sometimes even a bit intimidating. Our small groups are just the right size to connect with couples like you while maintaining your privacy.
Personal
Because we keep groups small, our facilitators are able to give lots of personalized attention and really hold your hand through the exercises.
Comprehensive
We offer the most comprehensive premarital counseling in Georgia. We’ll take you step by step through the most important things couples need to know to prevent unmet expectations from becoming marriage conflict zones.
This course is for
engaged couples
excited about making the investment required to
build a marriage
that stands the test of time.
If you’re here, you probably understand that just like a marathon or a big exam, a strong marriage requires some preparation!
That also means you’re a very smart cookie, because according to Marriage Magazine, couples who attend premarital counseling are…
This course is also for couples who:
Don’t like fighting traffic for weekly appointments
Are geographically separated but can easily meet up for one day
Feel more comfortable in small group setting
Don’t want or don’t have access to faith-based premarital counseling
30% less likely to separate or divorce!
8-Part Love that Lasts Roadmap —
By the end of this premarital counseling workshop, you’ll use this framework to keep the fire burning without burning down the house.
-
This exercise will help you both articulate your shared goals and values so that you can decide together what your marriage is about.
-
Many of our attendees are surprised to learn that they have expectations they never knew they had! This module helps you identify those expectations up front so they don’t become roadblocks later.
-
One of the most important communications skills in relationships is knowing what NOT to say. Many of us get professional training around this topic, but it can be easy to overlook in our personal lives. We’ll teach you how to avoid showstoppers that can make solutions difficult to reach.
-
One of the most valuable things we’ve learned in working with married couples is that every marriage will face at least one perpetual problem that will not go away. For problems that can’t be prevented, we’ll teach you how to face those immovable objects while still supporting each other.
-
How to Handle Finances as a Unit. Many of us don’t know we may have unhealthy approaches to money management until we have to partner financially with someone else. We’ll give you customized advice around creating compromise in your finances and how you can reach your financial goals together.
-
How to Keep the Bond When the Kids Come. Marital dissatisfaction reaches its peak in the first few years when children join the family. Learn tried and true methods to keep re-prioritizing eachother so that both of your needs are met even when emotional resources are stretched thin.
-
How to Set Boundaries With extended Family Roles. You’re bringing two unique families together, and expectations between the two might not always match. The good news is that being able to anticipate those mismatches is half the battle. We’ll help you suss out hiccups that your particular family could face, and we’ll arm you with ways to set healthy boundaries and resolve conflicts so that they don’t manage you.
-
How to Keep Intimacy & Sex Alive. Sex in marriage is very different than dating. As your responsibilities grow throughout your life together, the space you have for nurturing and dreaming will be harder to find. You’ll leave our workshop knowing how to recreate that space when you need it.
“Sharion was warm and made us feel comfortable discussing our concerns. Her ability to tie topics for our discussions transitioned very well. We would love to meet w/her for our future counseling needs. I think her listening skills are excellent!”
“I believe this program provided valuable information to apply daily”
“We both really enjoyed the exercises. They helped us both map out what we need to work on personally and together.”

-
Absolutely! We welcome all couples, and when we say all, we mean all. That’s one of the many reasons we created this program, so that all couples planning marriage have equal opportunity to build a healthy and happy bond.
-
While we may cover some of the same topics offered by your place of worship, we do include some topics that are typically absent from other programs, such as sex and intimacy. Depending on your goals, it would be completely fine to attend this workshop in addition to your faith institution’s program - or use ours as your standalone educational resource. Either way, we’re happy to have you!
-
The sessions technically never expire; however, we do encourage you to use them as soon as possible, as your particular instructor may not be available after a period of time.
-
We are SO glad you asked this question! The thing we’d love for you to know is that our program is most effective with helping you prepare for problems you don’t have now, but may likely face in the future.

Yes, it will! Each participating couple will receive a notarized certificate of completion that will qualify you for the premarital education discount anywhere in Georgia.
-
Our program is specifically designed to facilitate conversation and development of shared goals and expectations. Our course material would likely not serve its intended purpose if both of you are not present. We would recommend waiting and registering when you can both attend.

Join us. And get all the years of our relationship experience in 8 hours of training.
