Premarital mediation is a guided process that helps couples discuss important topics before marriage, such as finances, roles, expectations, and conflict resolution. It ensures both partners are aligned and can also assist in creating premarital agreements.

Mediation focuses on practical discussions and agreements, while therapy addresses emotional and relational dynamics. Mediation is solution-oriented, helping couples prepare for marriage by setting clear expectations and agreements.

A premarital agreement (also known as a prenuptial agreement) can clarify financial expectations, protect assets, and provide peace of mind. It’s not just for high-net-worth individuals—it’s a tool for any couple who wants to enter marriage with transparency.

Some key areas include:

• Finances and budgeting
• Property and assets
• Household responsibilities
• Family planning
• Conflict resolution strategies
• Future goals and expectations

The length of mediation varies based on each couple’s needs. The time required depends on the complexity of discussions and agreements. Some couples may need only a few hours, while others may require additional time to work through details.
