I'm getting ready to go through pre-marital counseling at my church. I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of questions that ask, what issues you discuss, etc.

It depends a lot on the pastor my pre-marital counseling was one session and was about 30 minutes. We talked about finances, in-laws, sex, dating, religion, roles, and responsibility. Those are the 7 keys to marriage. We went and had it done with our pastor that we have known for a long time so that is why it was short. But those are typically the things I think they would go over. Hope this helps. Congratulations.

I just got done with pre-marital counseling. We actually listened to a set of tapes and talked about our thoughts from them with the pastor and each other. We talked about stuff like important priorties for men and women...how they differ, financial balance stuff, in-laws and not letting them tear apart our marriage, what the Bible says about marriage and our individual roles, and future children. It sounds kinda nerve racking at first, but it's really not that bad. Just be open and honest. Remember, this person loves you....and it's good to discuss everything. Congrats!

It really depends on the person conducting it but when I went through it we mostly talked about our ideas regarding marriage and why we wanted to go through with it, also we talked a lot about finances and the problems that married couples face. It was really helpful. Good luck!

Depends on the pastor.......when we met with the pastor that married us, we discussed how we met, what our relationship is like, my husband's son, finances, what marriage means, etc. One girl I know had to take a written test away from her fiance (they both had to take it) and then the pastor compared the answers to see if they were compatible. Another friend and her fiance had to fill out a questionairre, but got to take it home to do. So, it varies.

The minister that we went to had us each fill out a questionnaire, then he analyzed it and at the next session went over the things that he thought might cause conflict. Luckily, there was only one question that we answered differently, so our counselling went really, really quickly! :)
