Premarital Counseling
and Workshops

When you are first in love with someone you tend to overlook their “faults,” and sometimes even find those faults endearing. Couples in the early stages of love often get so caught up in the pleasure of your emotions you stop thinking with clarity. You convince yourselves you can overcome any problem because you love each other. Or, you may be aware a problem exists and, because you have chosen to be committed to each other, want to resolve it before you marry.

In premarital counseling, Jenny Olin, LCSW of Saratoga Springs, NY meets with a couple and provides them with the opportunity to rationally evaluate what tools you have and need to acquire to keep a life-long commitment to each other.

Lighted Pathways also offers relationship education programs as an outstanding addition or alternative to premarital counseling. You may participate in one or more education groups and workshops to gain additional skills to prevent or resolve problems.


During both counseling and workshops you are given the opportunity to identify how you:

  • communicate and confide
  • resolve misunderstanding and conflict
  • heal old relationship wounds
  • maintain intimacy
    • If you find gaps in these areas you have the chance to heal any lingering relationship wounds and learn and practice the skills you need for a successful long-term relationship before problems have the opportunity to drive a wedge between you, causing emotional pain and interrupting intimacy. The primary focus of premarital counseling is on your relationship rather than the individual. When you resolve the problems in your relationship, that is, when your relationship wins, you both win.
