How matching works
Your conversations become your match.

Why her: Lesley runs a structured premarital series where money and kids get their own sessions, and engaged couples consistently love her.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How does Abby match us with a premarital counselor?
You tell Abby about you two, your timeline, and what you’ve never quite talked about. She learns how you communicate and your schedule and budget, then brings you a shortlist of premarital counselors with the reason each one fits you both.
Does needing premarital counseling mean something is wrong?
The opposite. Premarital work is maintenance before the miles, and the couples who do it skew stronger, not weaker. You’re front-loading the conversations most couples have for the first time mid-argument, years in.
What do the sessions actually cover?
The load-bearing topics: money, kids, faith, in-laws, intimacy, conflict styles, and expectations about daily life. Structured programs give each its own session, often with assessments that show where you align and where you assume.
How many sessions is premarital counseling?
Most structured programs run four to eight sessions. Start three to six months before the wedding if you can, but a compressed version close to the date still beats skipping it.
We’re already married. Too late?
Not at all. The same structured work in year one or five is just called marriage counseling with a maintenance mindset, and it’s just as valuable. Tell Abby where you are and she’ll match accordingly.
Can it be faith-based?
Yes. If you want faith woven into the work, or an officiant-recognized program, tell Abby and she’ll factor it into the match.
Can we use insurance?
Premarital counseling is often self-pay since there’s no diagnosis, but some plans cover couples work. Tell Abby your budget and she’ll factor it in, including counselors with package pricing for premarital series.
The best wedding prep isn’t the venue
when someone knows your story.
Walk in stronger than you already are. Your match is one message away.
