What is premarital coaching?

Premarital coaching helps engaged couples talk through the big topics, like money, family, roles, and conflict, before the wedding. It's skills-focused and forward-looking, and it uses the Prepare/Enrich assessment to guide the conversation

How does it work?

1. Book a free 15-minute intro call. Tell us about your plans and ask any questions.

2. Take the assessment. Each of you completes the Prepare/Enrich inventory online, on your own time.

3. Review your results together. We walk through your strengths and growth areas.

4. Build skills. You'll practice exercises tailored to your relationship.

5. Start Your marriage

How much does it cost?

The 4-session package is $500. It includes your assessment codes for both partners, your 4 follow-up sessions. Additional sessions are $100 each. The intro call is free.

How long does it take?

Most couples finish in 4 to 6 sessions over 1 to 2 months. We can adjust the pace to fit your schedule.

When should we start?

If you're engaged, we suggest starting 3 to 6 months before the wedding. That gives you time to practice what you learn without last-minute stress. If you're not in the middle of wedding planning, there's no better time than now.

Does our relationship need to be struggling?

Not at all. Most couples who do this are happy and want to stay that way. Think of it as preventive care, not a last resort.

Who will we work with?

Both of us. Kevin and Kristi coach together, so neither partner's perspective gets lost.

Is this therapy?

No. Coaching is educational and focused on skills and goals. It doesn't diagnose or treat mental health conditions or past trauma, and it isn't a substitute for therapy. If something comes up that needs more support, we'll tell you openly and point you to the right resources.

Is this religious?

We're faith-friendly and welcome every couple. If faith matters to you, we'll make space for it. If it doesn't, we won't bring it in.

Do we have to live in North Carolina?

No. We meet in person in the Triangle or online, so couples anywhere can work with us.

Can someone gift this to us?

Yes. Family and friends can buy a Bull City Coaching gift card or add it to your registry.

What if we discover major issues in our relationship?

The goal is to give you tools for resolving conflict, communicating, and setting expectations. If significant concerns come up, such as addiction or abuse, we'll discuss them openly and recommend additional professional support.
