Premarital Counseling Program
Center for Hope also offers Premarital Counseling services for couples who are considering marriage and newly married couples (two years or less) that have never attended a premarital counseling program.
Our premarital counseling service is designed to provide teaching and guidance that helps couples to build a strong foundation in their marriage before it starts. Our goal is to empower couples with the tools to have a lasting and loving relationship. For more information about our Premarital Counseling services click here, or contact Retta Smith at 309-827-2009.
