❌ Miss guided conversations most couples never have
Without structured preparation, important topics like communication, money, and expectations often go unaddressed until problems arise.
❌ Go into marriage without proven relationship tools
Skip practical strategies for managing conflict, stress, and life changes together.
❌ Lose a chance to build stronger communication early
Many couples wait until challenges appear—this course helps you prepare before they do.
❌ Start marriage without intentional preparation
The wedding may be planned, but the marriage itself deserves just as much care and attention.
Preparing for marriage is about more than planning a wedding—it’s about building a strong, healthy partnership. I’m Krissi Franzen, a licensed mental health counselor with years of experience helping couples strengthen communication, navigate challenges, and build lasting connection.

My goal is to help you build a resilient foundation for marriage, reduce stress, and approach this next chapter with intention and trust.
