Pre-Marriage Counseling - What to expect

I have counseling sessions setup with a psychologist and the priest. Any ideas on what to expect? Any advice?

well, one has never been married, sworn to a life of celibacy, really has no knowledge of marital relationships, the other is considered the lowest member of the counseling food chain, so, good luck

Get a good lawyer. Kids? Make it work. No kids? Don't look back

To be fair, that's like saying a doctor can't treat a disease unless he's had it himself. Or you can't help a buddy with a drug addiction because you've never had one. Certainly someone like a priest can provide general advice and counseling.
All that being said - that's not who j would go to.
Eta: time would be better spent lining up a good attorney

Wait...hold on....do you really think this about priests?
Please tell me you were kidding before I insult you.

Watch your wife lie and the councillor take her side.
Misery is the first feeling as you walk through hell.
ETA: A priest, fricking lawyer up dude this is a Cold War now.

good point, however people that go to priests for advice are usually Catholic, therefore making the relationship one sided in favor of the priest, they are likely to be somewhat intimidated and inclined to take whatever advice he gives to heart because of his position, not necessarily because it's sound advice

I apologize. This is for pre-marriage counseling.

Good for you. Too many people give up.

Open communication is the key to everything, IMO.
I didn't communicate well early in my marriage and carried on like it was still just me to worry about. It took a while to realize the ramifications of my actions, as marriage is a work in progress daily.
Just remember that whatever she's mad at, it is because you did something. You may not know what that something is for six to twelve months, but you will eventually know what pissed her off that day. Good luck.

What it basically boils down to is this - if you and your partner aren't able to be brutally honest with each other about any and all problems, including those that threaten to destroy the relationship, you're probably already done and might as well call the lawyers.
Priests and psych guys have plenty of experience convincing people to acknowledge this and do something about it, they've seen all the excuses people come up with to hide stuff.

I had to do it for two 5 hour sessions with an Episcopal priest and didn't mind it much. We went through our families' histories and such. No big deal. The guy said he's asked some couples to postpone the wedding if he didn't like what they were saying. I chuckled at that.
