Pre-marriage counseling is common among Christian couples not necessarily because they want to go through it that much, but because it is a tradition. A priest or a pastor won’t officiate the wedding until the couple completes a pre-marriage counseling stage – the role of this process is to discuss various issues they will deal with as a married couple, to get to know each other better, and to identify incompatibilities.
