Jacob & Avery
We are so thankful for the opportunity to go through premarital counseling with Pastor Joon.
Pastor Joon guided us as we navigated coming from two different upbringings and beginning to build our own family together. His advice was thoughtful, intentional, and always tailored specifically to us as a couple.
We especially appreciated how firmly his counseling was grounded in Scripture and biblical truth. He helped us understand not only the joy of marriage, but also the covenantal commitment and responsibilities that come with marriage as Christians. His guidance consistently pointed us back to a Christ-centered foundation.
We also appreciated the way he walked us through the SYMBIS assessment, encouraging honest conversations and continued communication outside of counseling.
We are very grateful for the time, care, prayer, and investment Pastor Joon poured into us throughout this season.
Josh & Angie
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with premarital counseling. The sessions were incredibly helpful in preparing us for marriage and gave us practical tools for communication, conflict resolution, trust, and building a strong foundation together.
One thing we especially appreciated was the assessment/test we completed. The interpretation and guidance provided from it gave us valuable insight into both our strengths and areas where we can continue to grow as a couple. It sparked meaningful conversations and helped us better understand each other. We also really valued how scripture was thoughtfully incorporated throughout the counseling process.
Bringing biblical principles into the discussions made the experience feel even more grounding and intentional as we prepared for a Christ-centered marriage. We left feeling more confident, connected, and equipped for this next chapter, and we’re very grateful for the wisdom and guidance we received.
How to start a strong marriage?
Every couple spends countless hours planning for their wedding day, but far fewer prepare for the marriage that follows.
This premarital course is designed to help you build a relationship that is healthy, Christ-centered, and built to last. You'll have meaningful conversations, gain practical tools, and develop a deeper understanding of one another before stepping into this lifelong covenant.
Whether you're newly engaged or your wedding day is just around the corner, investing in your relationship now can help you avoid unnecessary struggles later and give you confidence as you begin this new chapter together. A strong marriage starts with intentional preparation.
Alex & Shay
My wife Shay and I found the premarital counseling very helpful. Marriage is a big commitment, the joining of two lives. We felt it was important to start our marriage with a strong faith foundation.
The course allowed us talk through any potential challenges of sharing a household, finances, and schedules. It was also a great opportunity to connect with other couples in the community going through a similar phase of life.
We found the course also helped prepare us for the eventual challenges of marriage by reminding us that we are a team and committed to each other.
I would recommend the course to any couple ready to take the next step in their relationship.
Clarence & Carmen
"My wife, Carmen, and I had great experience with Pastor Joon for our premarital counseling sessions. He showed genuine interest in getting to know us. He asked really thoughtful questions that made us pause and think. More importantly he's a great listener, who takes time to understand your thought and emotions. We would highly recommend his counseling services!"
Garrett & Emma
Going through premarital counseling with Pastor Joon was one of the best decisions Emma and I made before our wedding. He has a gift for facilitating real conversations. He asked meaningful questions that pushed us to actually build a plan together covering everything from finances and household responsibilities to intimacy and overall expectations for marriage. We walked away feeling genuinely prepared, not just excited. If you’re on the fence about premarital counseling, do it. And if you have the chance to go through it with Pastor Joon, don’t pass that up.
