Why You Need Marriage Coaching After the Wedding

Most couples think about getting coaching before the wedding. But let's be honest, you're only half paying attention to the coach, books, or videos because you and your partner are focused on the wedding details. There are countless tasks to manage—friends and family traveling from far and wide, fittings and tastings, and a never-ending to-do list. Amidst this whirlwind, meaningful discussions about communication, finances, and intimacy often take a back seat.

While I highly recommend premarital coaching or taking our online course before the big day, it's perfectly fine if you miss out on that. In fact, signing up for coaching after the wedding might be the best decision you ever make. Here's why (according to the experts at Prepare and Enrich):

1. You’re not distracted by the wedding: Now that the wedding is behind you, you can fully concentrate on building a strong foundation for your marriage.

2. It’s a great option if you missed out on premarital coaching: If you didn't get coaching before, it's never too late to start.

3. You’ve started experiencing the realities of married life: Real-life experiences can highlight areas where you need guidance, making coaching even more relevant.

4. You might be on the verge of another big transition: Whether it's moving, starting a family, or new career opportunities, coaching can help you navigate these changes together.

5. It gives you the encouragement you need: A coach provides the support and motivation to keep working on your relationship.

6. It sets a precedent for continuous growth: Committing to coaching shows that you're dedicated to ongoing improvement and lifelong learning in your marriage.

At the heart of a thriving marriage is the commitment to lifelong learning. There's always something new to discover and always someone with more experience to learn from. Among the reasons above, #3 resonates the most with me. The first few years of marriage are often the hardest. No one tells you that planning the wedding is infinitely easier than actually being married. This is why you and your partner need a coach.

As a Christian marriage coach, I'm here to guide you through these early years and beyond. Together, we will strengthen your communication, deepen your intimacy, and build a resilient partnership grounded in faith and love. Don’t wait until challenges arise—start your journey with me today and lay the groundwork for a fulfilling, lifelong marriage.
