Premarital counselling
A six-meeting space to talk for couples preparing to marry or move in together.
We talk about money, boundaries with families, housework, wanting children and how you argue, at a calm time and before problems grow.
Premarital counselling is not a "compatibility test". Our aim is not to test couples but to put the topics that cause the most friction in shared life on the table at a calm time.
What do we talk about?
Over six meetings each session is given to one main topic: money and a shared budget, boundaries with both families, housework and time, wanting children and expectations of parenting, how you argue, closeness and personal space. Between sessions we work with short questionnaires that you fill in.
Why before marriage?
After the wedding these topics are often raised through a crisis. Talking about them in advance lets you start knowing where you think differently. Thinking differently is not a problem; not knowing the difference often is.
How long does it take? Six meetings; an optional follow-up six months after the wedding.
Who is it for?
- Engaged couples or couples who have decided to marry
- Couples about to move in together
- Couples preparing for a second marriage and blending families with children
- Couples from different cities, cultures or religious practices
When might it not be the right fit?
- There is violence or coercion in the relationship
- One partner is unsure about marrying and wants to talk about that: couples therapy is more suitable
If this applies to you, let’s talk openly on the first call; we will point you to the right place. In an emergency, call 112 (the emergency number in Türkiye).
How does the process unfold?
The blue and plum lines stand for the two partners: rows where they run side by side are joint sessions, rows where they part are separate sessions.
