Evidence-Based Online Premarital Courses Designed for Every Couple
No outdated gender roles. No judgment. Just practical, clinical tools to build a stronger, lasting marriage.
Our Clinical Approach, Now Available Online
For years, Cadenza Counseling provided intensive, live 1-on-1 premarital counseling to help couples navigate core relationship dynamics like communication, financial planning, and conflict resolution. While we are no longer accepting new couples for live sessions, our commitment to supporting your relationship journey remains unchanged.
Founder Kristen Franzen (LMHC, LPC, NCC) has distilled over a decade of inclusive clinical experience into our state-approved online premarital preparation courses. Now, you can access the exact same psychological frameworks and evidence-based communication tools on your own schedule—while simultaneously meeting your state’s legal requirements for a marriage license.
What “Inclusive” Relationship Education Means
Many traditional premarital education programs rely on outdated stereotypes or strict religious frameworks. Our online curriculum is built differently. We believe every couple deserves high-quality, affirming relationship education grounded in modern psychology.
- LGBTQ+ Affirming: Our curriculum celebrates all couples, explicitly addressing the unique dynamics of same-sex, queer, and gender-diverse relationships.
- Neurodivergent-Friendly: We present clear, straightforward concepts without confusing clinical jargon, intentionally designed to accommodate different learning styles and cognitive needs.
- Modern & Practical: We tackle real-world marital issues like emotional labor, modern financial planning, and setting healthy boundaries with in-laws.
