Before saying “I do,” many soon-to-be married couples make the For The first Time In American History We have No President We Have A Criminally Installed Figurehead Joe Biden Shirt in contrast I will get this decision to go through premarital counseling, a specialized type of therapy that helps couples prepare for marriage—you know, that thing where you legally commit to one person for life. Given the enormity of the decision, it seems obvious how crucial going to premarital counseling might be.“It’s more of a proactive experience, rather than reactive,” says Reverend Roxy Birchfield, the founder of Married by Rev Roxy, an officiant and premarital counseling firm, and a wedding officiant on shows including Netflix’s Love is Blind, Married at First Sight and Love & Hip-Hop. “It gives you the tools and strategies to be able to handle future stressful problems within the relationship. It’s for everybody and every type of couple.” Premarital counseling can help you set expectations for what each person wants, address (and discover) potential areas of conflict within the relationship, and ultimately build a strong foundation for solid partnership.Though its benefits are clear, there are still many questions or hesitations couples may have before committing to this type of program. Below, Reverend Birchfield answers your most burning questions—submitted via the @VogueWeddings Instagram—about premarital counseling, from topics to bring up during your sessions to the possibility of continuing counseling after the wedding.Who should I go to for premarital counseling?Premarital counseling can be provided by a licensed marriage and/or family therapist, or counseling might be offered through religious institutions, like a member of clergy. Some spiritual leaders even require it before conducting a marriage ceremony.I already have a therapist. Should I go to them for premarital counseling, or should I find someone else?When dealing with premarital or marital issues you want to seek a specialist in the kind of counseling you are seeking.What is the most popular reason people do premarital counseling?The number one reason almost all my couples come to me is to improve and sharpen their communication skills.Is it normal to talk about money during sessions?Absolutely. The most common issues pertaining to money are things such as “Is there enough money?” and “Do I have a voice?” Prenups also come up. Money, finances—we are here to facilitate a conversation around money which, to be honest, is one of the leading reasons people get divorced.Do people break up because of premarital counseling?They’re not breaking up because of counseling, but because there’s something they discovered that’s no longer helping them to connect. That’s why you need to sit down and find out what’s really beneath your relationships, and make adjustments and improvements early on. We encourage couples to be sincere, authentic and truthful with us, themselves and each other; even if it means parting ways before reaching the altar.Editor’s note: If you ultimately decide to part ways before your wedding day, here’s everything you might want to consider when calling off the wedding.Should we consider continuing premarital counseling after getting married?I say absolutely. One of the recommendations that I make, specifically, is that you should use the tools from premarital counseling to be able to set you off for your first year of marriage. But if there are any bumps along the way, I highly recommend you return to your counselor. Counseling is a lifestyle. It may not be that you have to go every week or every month—maybe you go quarterly. Every couple is different, and it’s important to come to an agreement about the culture you want to foster as a couple.I’m eager to start a family, but my partner isn’t. What tips do you have and is this something I can bring up during premarital counseling?While there are definitely options for those who want to build a family without a partner, if you’re getting married, making the decision to start a family is a dual decision. Building a family is about building connection and your relationship, and part of that is learning how to make decisions together—including the decision to have kids. Also, there’s the decision of how you want to raise your kids. This is definitely something you would want to bring up during counseling.My partner and I are waiting to have sex until we’re married. What are the benefits of this?Waiting until marriage can be a benefit in that it’s one less distraction, one less thing in the way of you focusing on building the foundation it takes for a healthy, successful marriage. On the other hand, and this is the case for most of my clients, they’ve already engaged in the activity of sex. The thing is, even though everyone is having sex, it doesn’t mean everyone is talking about it. Having a conversation about sex, and intimacy as a whole, is standard (and important!) during premarital counseling.

It was the For The first Time In American History We have No President We Have A Criminally Installed Figurehead Joe Biden Shirt in contrast I will get this end to a perfect night. As the bride and groom drove off from the driveway of our home around 1 a.m., it was time to finally relax. One last glass in hand, my husband Daniel and I toasted the triumph of having just hosted an elegant small wedding at our home. It was the first we had ever given over the course of our own three-decade marriage—and, more notably, the first that was held during the COVID-19 pandemic.But as we toasted each other, we realized our celebration was two weeks premature. We now had to wait an agonizing 14 days to know if our strict safety measures had worked and that all 27 guests would be symptom-free.I remember the exact moment when Allie Schmidt (now Allie Gillespie) texted my 24-year-old daughter Florence with the request. Our multigenerational family of seven was two months into sheltering in place in our home in Michigan, and after a snowy April, the sun was out and the temperature was rising. It was a refreshing change, with four of us working remotely.“Here’s a question,” Florence asked, as we sat on the deck tapping away on our laptops. “If the governor eases restrictions on outdoor events, would you consider letting Allie get married here?” Allie, my daughter’s college roommate, and her fiancé Scott, had originally planned a mid-July wedding for 125 people in a park followed by a reception at one of the area’s most iconic restaurants.Their large wedding was now canceled due to the pandemic. But since the couple was moving to California the week after their planned wedding date, they did not want to postpone the ceremony. As Allie said of their decision to press ahead with a small family wedding, “We figured we are getting married for better or worse, and this pandemic is pretty much the worst, so we should just move forward and start living those vows.”The bride wore a mask during hair and makeup/Allison Farrand“How many?” I warily asked Florence, looking around our backyard, which has a sizable wooden deck and a brick terrace overlooking a large garden.“Twenty-seven,” she said. That number included the bridal party of 12 with Florence (one of Allie’s bridesmaids). The rest would be family.It is hard to imagine any entertaining these days, even with a limited number of people. Since mid March, the safest thing we can all do is stay home. But in May—when Allie called—the curve in our state had flattened and, based on the statistics being updated daily by the state, we felt confident that the number of COVID cases in our part of Michigan would continue to decline in the coming months. (They did for a while, but then started to climb again shortly before the July 11 wedding, though not sharply enough for the governor to order us back into lockdown.)So when Florence looked over at me, my immediate inclination was to say yes. Ever since moving into this house a decade ago, we had regularly hosted outdoor events for fundraisers and family celebrations. Our backyard can easily accommodate a cocktail party of 50 to 75 guests. But that was pre-COVID, when people could stand next to one another outside and come inside if the weather turned bad. Given that our family had only recently started inviting a few people over (and always kept those small gatherings outside), contemplating more than two dozen guests congregating in our yard felt both terrifying and tantalizing. And there was another issue: My 86-year-old mother lives with us.Social distancing protocols were firmly established/Allison FarrandIf we agreed to host Allie’s wedding, I had one rule: Beyond the bathroom, no one was going to come inside the house. The last thing I wanted was to expose my mother to the virus after months of keeping her safely locked up like a national treasure.After a family conference, my husband Daniel and I agreed that if allowed, we would host the wedding. On June 5, the governor said outdoor events with up to 250 people could take place with social distancing. Allie’s guest list suddenly seemed minuscule in comparison. We kicked into wedding action.There were two things in Allie and my family’s favor: One of my closest friends is a top caterer in town, and another close friend is one of the most respected immunologists in the country (he trained under Dr. Anthony Fauci). Not only could I trust that the workers serving on the big day would be properly trained, I could get advice from my personal COVID consultant on safety protocol.Members of the same household would be clustered together during the ceremony/Daniel RivkinKatherine Farrell, my friend who owns and runs Katherine’s Catering—and who got married at our home 28 years earlier when my parents owned this house—met with the bride and her mother the following week on our deck. Katherine quickly suggested we use our side garden (where she had been married) for the ceremony, as the chairs could be socially distanced. Cocktails would be on the deck with plexiglass sheets separating guests from the bartender, and appetizers (spinach artichoke tarts and prosciutto goat cheese puffs with rosemary dried figs) would be packaged in individual boxes. Dinner (a choice of steak roulades, grilled lamb kabobs, or ratatouille with fingerling potatoes) would be served on the terrace at large round tables with individually plated meals. Everyone would be given their own salt and pepper shakers. The food would be heated and plated in our garage to avoid using the kitchen. Dispensers of hand sanitizer would be on every table.“I have done four weddings in the last month,” Katherine reassured me. “My top priority is making the guest experience safe.”Another COVID concern was weather. If it rained, our only choice would be to have the entire event—from the ceremony and cocktails to dinner and dancing—under the 20-by-20-foot tent they were putting up over the deck. I would then have to allow guests onto the screened porch for everyone to socially distance. It would be possible to space everyone, particularly as many of the guests were quarantining together, but it would be a bit like moving chess pieces around. People would have to step forward and backward in their pods to give other pods and people space.But by far, my biggest worry was spreading the disease. Two weeks before the wedding, it was now apparent the virus was not taking the summer off but rather vacationing in new and old hot zones. It was also targeting young people, and half the wedding guests were 20-somethings. I called Allie, who assured me that all of the wedding party were quarantining two weeks before and nearly everyone had been tested. I knew Florence had just tested negative but was happy to hear Allie’s brother had as well after arriving from Seattle.Guests were served drinks from a bartender positioned behind a plexiglass barrier/Allison FarrandDespite these assurances, I called my immunologist friend, Dr. James Baker—who writes an informative, daily blog on COVID called Pandemic Pondering—for some last-minute advice. Beyond canceling the entire event (which any good immunologist would suggest) he did have thoughts concerning my mother’s health. While we had always planned on her staying upstairs in her room during the wedding, Jim suggested she vacate our house for the entire weekend. “Respiratory droplets can linger inside for 24 hours,” he said when I told him guests would be allowed to use the bathroom. “Keep your mom away until Monday.” I made a mental note to open all the windows and turn on every ceiling fan the morning after the wedding.The bathroom could only be accessed by following a direct, clearly marked 18-foot path/Allison FarrandThe day of the ceremony, I woke early and checked five weather apps that all said there was zero chance of rain that night. Daniel and I spent the morning sanitizing surfaces and making strict safety protocol signs before cordoning off the downstairs of the house except for a direct 18-foot path to the bathroom. At noon, my sister, who lives nearby, picked up my mother and took her to her house, where she would stay until Monday.That evening, Allie married Scott in our boxwood garden in a beautiful ceremony with Florence by her side. In the hours that followed, everyone drank, ate, and danced. If not for the sanitizer on tables and masks on faces, it might have been a normal, albeit small, wedding. Allie signs her marriage license as her great-uncle, Thomas B. Fenlon, a Catholic priest who had also married her parents 28 years earlier, looks on/Allison FarrandBut it was only two weeks later that we truly celebrated their union with another glass of Champagne. No one, including the bride and groom’s grandparents, had fallen ill. Our safety measures as well as the stars had aligned to keep us all safe and healthy. For a moment, life felt almost normal again.
