Why Should Step-Couples Invest in Start Right?
TAKE THE FIRST STEP TOWARD BUILDING A BLENDED FAMILY THAT LASTS
So, you've fallen in love...again.
Since you've done this before, you might be wondering why or how your current relationship is different than those in your past. Will we work out? Will the patterns and mistakes I brought to my past relationship(s) continue? Is my fiance going to change? Did I pick a good match? Are we doing the right thing for the kids?
Sometimes, you might even wonder why you're considering getting married again at all.
The short answer to the unspoken question, "Can Second or Third Marriages Be Successful," is yes. Yes, subsequent marriages can be very successful, fulfilling, and stable, if they are done right.
Premarital Counseling is an excellent way to delve into, discuss and get a head start on addressing the common concerns that arise in blended families relationships. The truth is that couples who remarry face an even greater chance of their relationship ending in divorce than those who are marrying for the first time.
You, your partner, your children, and your family deserve the tools, support, and education that you can get for the journey ahead.
What's Included in the Start Right Program?

8 Coaching Sessions
Your coaching sessions will be individualized to your relationship needs and common areas that tend to divide step-couples and blended families. Each session will be 1 hour in length.
Directed Date Night
As part of your premarital coaching experience, we provide you with several directed options for a date night on us. Each of the date night options is designed to build foundations, sharpen skills and promote relational trust.
Directed Family Team Building
Bringing your children into a new marriage involves pre-existing alliances and extensive family bonds. As part of your program, we offer you a facilitated team building activity that brings you together as a family and strengthens bonds.
First Anniversary Session
We know that the best intentions don't always follow the smoothest path, because of this, we include a check-in session with you 9-12 months after the wedding. This is a great opportunity to fine-tune your relationship and make sure all is well.
How Much Does "Start Right" Cost?
Consider that:
The average wedding will cost $12,000 - $15,000. Premarital counseling costs only 1-2% of this amount per session
The average divorce cost in the United States is $15,000 - 20,000. This does not include child support costs over time
Highest divorce rates occur within the first three years of marriage
Half of couples who do divorce do so within 12 years of getting married
Studies show that couples who underwent counseling before their wedding had a 30% stronger marriage and a 50% higher martial success rate than those who did not.
