my fiancee and I are probably going to go to pre-marital counseling. It is with an older couple who are both psychologists and should know what they are doing. I am curious about other peoples experiences with pre-marital counseling. What should I expect? Did it work for you or help/hinder your marriage in any way?

its a good thing to go to, but nothing gets you fully ready for marriage, like marriage itself.
Make sure to discuss all the important things to both you. Make sure you discuss cleaning the house ... who will do it.
Other house jobs.
Sex ... how often, etc.
MONEY.
Good luck

My wife and I actually went through counselling with the minister that was presiding over our wedding him and his wife were licensed prayer counsellors and it was part of the agreement to him marrying anyone. I think pre-marital counselling is something every couple should go through
this really opens discussions that you may not have discussed in your relationship. It also gives a neutral playing field for both you and your fiance to ask questions and gain a greater insight into your relationship and if marriage is even something your ready for. Congratulations on your engagement and have fun with the counselling these are great times to finding out more intimate details of yourself and your mate and really if you two are meant to be or if it's just been an exciting fling?.
God Bless and Best Wishes.

My advice about pre-marital counselling......be honest! My husband and I had to do some counseling before marriage at my church and even though we thought that no topic was off-limits and had talked about everything, there were still an amazing amount of stuff that we didn't discuss before those sessions. So good luck.....and be honest!
I wish you and your fiance the best of luck in your life and upcoming marriage!

I am going through pre-marital conseling with my fiance. I think if it's a open and truthful event, then it's good.
Any counseling is only as good as everyone participating. So if you are all honest, then it will do good to prepare you for marriage.

I think you would get a great benefit from it. I don't put much faith in marriage counseling after marriage because it only helps point out what problems you already are aware of, but by going before marriage they can clue you in to what you will be facing since you are not familiar with it. It will be well worth your effort to attend.

I strongly suggest that you do this... I feel it will help your marriage tremendously. I have some friends that did this, and they are so happy and in love after 10yrs. Where as I didn't and I am divorced. I think EVERY couple should do this. Good luck to you, and good job for being smart and serious about the commitment you are about to make.
