You are about to begin a great journey. Your marriage will be the greatest source of joy and happiness in your life-and potentially the greatest source of stress, discomfort and possible heartache. As you move towards your wedding day and prepare yourself for the journey ahead, do you want to:

- avoid the most common features of unhappy marriages?
- deepen your understanding of, and love for, your partner?
- learn how to talk about difficult issues together-including issues such as money, sex and raising children together?
- develop a shared plan to guide your married life together?
Premarital counselling can you help you achieve all of these outcomes-and more!

Hello. My name is Alastair Duhs.
I am a premarital counsellor based in Takapuna, Auckland. I have had over 17 years experience helping couples create the happiest, most loving and vibrant marriages possible.
What Others Say:
This programme helped me get to know Linda better and it made me aware of how I communicate in situations. Before this course I would think that Linda would have to change to make me happy. I know now that I need to change to make me happy-and the happier I am the happier our relationship will be. By sitting down together and discussing these things it has set a good foundation for our life together."
