Premarital Counseling & Workshop
For individual couples privately and in group by workshop. State offers discount off marriage license for 6 + hours.
Want to know more about why men seem like they don’t listen, why women pout, why sex at night is not always the best thing, and why after just about after one year into the relationship the honeymoon feels like it is over?
In the video below listen to four couples talk about what they’ve learned about themselves, relationship and openness.
Learn:
-
- How personalities and habits cause problems that affect compatibility and outcomes
- How miscommunication can breed resentment and withholding of affection
- Why setting healthy boundaries with extended family is “a big thing”
- How incongruent money goals sneak in to cause contention and disharmony
- Why talking about family origins and future family goals reduces conflict
- Why knowing (not guessing) about your partner’s intimate desires can affect fidelity
- What to say (literally) to support your partner and yourself through tough and encouraging times
- How to manage disagreements without arguments
- Why not taking your partner’s behaviors ” personally” is vital to Love and Happiness

Invest in Premarital Counseling! Be among the 75% of couples who reached 10 years of marriage and continue working on being among the 6% who have reached 50 years of marriage. A friend of mine once told me that just because a couple is married for a long time, that doesn’t mean they have been happily married. Invest in your marriage today. Make it the best marriage in the world, and if not in the world, then at least on your neighborhood block!
Although this is a premarital counseling and education course, it is so much fun! Many participants say the design of the course helps the individual sessions or workshop day move along faster because of the interactive and guided exercises, discussions and demonstrations. Food is also provided at the workshops.
Learn secrets about the opposite sex that keeps them happy, satisfied and fulfilled!
Did you know some men don’t have the capacity to listen to detailed explanations about an event, without listening for and wanting to solve a problem for his partner? A man’s brain is wired to solve problems, not necessarily to talk without an identified goal or purpose for the conversation, according to research. He is always in “hero mode.” He wants to solve your problem and receive praise. That may be why he is always asking you to get to the point of your story and or giving you unsolicited
advice, which can leave you feeling unheard and unimportant?
Did you know women don’t have the capacity to just focus on one thing at a time, also according to research. A woman’s mind is pulling in information all of the time to store for later use or to fix what’s happening in the moment- to nurture. Why? A woman’s mind is wired to do many things not necessarily at once, but with a diffused awareness. That’s why women can talk on the phone, stir a pot of spaghetti, give hubby a kiss, watch if he leaves his shoes in the middle of the floor and tell little Jessica to put her toys away all in one direction. Diffused awareness is one reason why men claim they don’t understand women, “They’re not focused and they don’t know what they want.” Have you heard that before?
The Inner Circle provides explanations and solutions to the scenarios above and many more seemingly unexplainable interactions between men and women. See what happy couples have said about their experiences.
“I had no clue that when I ask my man a question, I will get more information if I only ask the question once. When I tried the technique on lunch break, I asked the question and waited and waited some more. He gave me more than I have ever gotten from him within the last 6 months of us dating. It was hard because I’m used to asking the question at 3 times, which I didn’t know I did until Sulonda pointed it out using humor. She has a great sense of humor. Good stuff Sulonda! Thank you.” ~Heather P.
“Ok, I don’t know where she gets this information from, but it’s refreshing to hear her explain with clarity how men and women think. ~Brad M.
“I think if more women were told about this ancient “art of femininity” when they are young women there would be less divorce and more forgiveness. For me, I realized I have more power than I thought I did in this relationship. I know now that I am special and sacred.” Great workshop!” ~Jamila E.
We will explore how expectations, judgment, money, and lack of intimacy can spoil the makings of a passionate partnership and how they attribute to 50% of the divorce rate. Learning and applying the principles of a healthy marriage is attributed to the other 50% who have stayed together. This workshop and individual sessions meet the Georgia’s requirement for a discount on your Marriage License.
