Marriage Preparation Program

Because of our commitment to the sacredness of Christian marriage, every engaged couple, who requests the use of Sagemont Church for their wedding ceremony, and/or desires a Sagemont Church minister to perform the ceremony, is expected to satisfactorily complete a pre-marital counseling program.

 More Info

Why? Because pre-marriage counseling really does work.  Research conclusively demonstrates that couples who participate in an equipping program are far more likely to maintain successful marriages, by heading off destructive patterns that often lead to divorce. In fact, studies show, couples are 31% less likely to get divorced if they have engaged in pre-marriage training before they marry.

Sagemont Counseling Center has created a comprehensive “Marriage Preparation Program” (MPP) designed to offer the kind of pertinent information, strategic resources and effective skills that are necessary to build and maintain a high-quality marriage.

The MPP consists of 4-6 sessions and can be adapted to the needs of each couple. Core components include:

  • Feedback from a highly informative standardized assessment tool called SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts
  • A minimum of four individualized counseling sessions that will help couples:
  • Explore relationship strengths as well as potential areas for growth
  • Identify, understand, and appreciate personality differences
  • Strengthen positive communication patterns, including assertiveness and listening skills
  • Establish the conflict resolution skills tools vital for a fulfilling marriage
  • Examine relationship and “family of origin” dynamics that effect marital satisfaction
  • Prepare for healthy and satisfying emotional and physical intimacy
  • Create a workable budget and financial plan
  • Establish realistic and healthy marital expectations
  • Develop personal, couple, and family goals
  • Other selected resources, for the specific needs of each couple

Because of our commitment to promote healthy marriages, Sagemont Church subsidizes the fees of the MPP: 

  • Sagemont members, receive a discounted cost of $70 per session along with a one-time fee of $50 per couple for SYMBIS.
  • Non-members of Sagemont Church are charged the $90 per session and $50 for SYMBIS

Interested couples can contact the Sagemont Counseling Center at 281.481.7133, for further details, or to schedule an appointment. 

Support Groups

We offer a variety of support groups—such as Grief Share and Divorce Care—that are open to both our clients and the wider community. Our team continually assesses areas of need and develops group offerings to provide timely, relevant support. Because our groups change each semester, we encourage you to contact the counseling center for information about current and upcoming sessions.
