My fiancée and I are getting married in June, and the pastor is requiring premarital counseling. With our busy schedules, we were looking for an online alternative to the typical “in house” counseling option. Any of y’all have any experience with doing this, and if so, do y’all have any recommended sites? I’ve tried googling for websites, but some of the sites look sketchy at best. TIA
Oh, and no pics. Sorry, but that would greatly reduce the chance of her still marrying me, and I’m trying to lock this one down, as I am GREATLY outkicking my coverage.

get a new pastor
maybe a destination wedding where you force all of your friends to spend money to get to some inconvenient place

If I had to do premarital counseling, I probably wouldn’t be married.

I’d go now rather than after.

Have you guys talked about finances?
Have you talked about kids?
Do y’all agree about those things?
If yes to all three, congrats, you’ve had premarital counseling. Have you pastor send a check to Upperdecker on TD

Many things you cannot prepare for ahead of time. Marriage is one of them. No matter how well you know the person, doesn't matter if you've shacked up, once yall say I do, everything changes.
A good premarital counseling program can give you some good tools to help with the adjustment if you take it seriously. Emphasis on a good program.
Personally I would recommend it as well to all to be married couples. I dont understand people who say if you're thinking about getting counseling you shouldn't be married. That's dumb. Even video games give tutorials before you play.

We had to do this before we got married. I was kinda annoyed by it, but she really wanted that church so I went along. We both ended up really enjoying it. Kinda prompted us to talk about the unromantic things like finances, goals, habits etc...ended up really confirming what a great decision we were making. Had it not gone so well, I imagine it would have stopped us from making a terrible choice.

Before my wife and I got married we did 6 weeks worth of classes with the head priest. In addition to relationship advice he also talked to us about finances.
The one thing that has always stuck with me is when he told us that “Love is a choice. It does not come naturally. It doesn’t not just happen. People that say you can’t choose who you love are full of shite. Love is absolutely a choice you make and it takes a lot of work.” He was 100% right.
The classes were worth it for that quote alone. I’ve had to remind myself of that a lot over the years.
I think you would get more out of it if you did in-person counseling.

I'm sure premarital counseling started out as a method to cut down on divorce rate. Sadly now it's just another money grab.
Tell the pastor you found another church that doesn't mandate the counseling. I bet he/she drops the requirement.

If y'all are too busy to do the right thing, your marriage is doomed anyway.

The only to know beforehand is what she screams when she has the big O.

We had to do the Engagement Encounter thing through our Catholic Diocese. We thought that we didn't need it (and we really didn't).
But then we saw the reactions and discussions between other couples and realized why the Diocese required it. There were couples there who hadn't discussed birth control or raising their kids in the church or pretty much anything other than where they were going to live and if the wife was going to have to work. I doubt that any didn't marry, but at least it forced them to discuss some important stuff prior.

And let me guess...the sessions cost money. Man, getting married in the church really is for suckers these days. I'm all for involving God, but everyone wants that $$.
