​PREMARITAL COACHING

​Start Smart is a research based, comprehensive premarital program that asks engaged couples “Do you want the 5 year plan, or the 50+ year plan?” and offers the skills needed to make it through the most challenging early years of marriage. The program includes a day-long workshop and private coaching session. Start Smart was designed for engaged couples and has these core elements:

  1. A premarital inventory driven by current research that provides a comprehensive, unique profile of a couple’s relationship, measuring their strengths and growth areas in 13 critical categories needed for a successful marriage.
  2. A 1-day workshop & 1 one-on-one follow up session offered by trained Marriage Coaches.
  3. Experiential learning of specific communication and conflict resolution skills crucial to a healthy marriage.
StartSmart™ is a program created by LiveTheLife.org
