Anamcara - a Gaelic word for Soul Friend accurately describes the work of being married. Pre-marital counselling helps you understand the importance of friendship in marriage and how to become 'soul friends.' Marriages, generally, have the greatest challenges in the first 2 or 3 years, so pre-marital counselling / education is very important. We want to help couples prepare well for marriage.

Plan your marriage - to last a lifetime!
