4 Hour Florida State Recognised Premarital Course
Rev. Mike Zilinke is a Broward County registered premarital course provider. The 4 Hour Florida State Recognised Premarital course covers the basics of the marriage relationship and qualifies for the marriage license discount.
3-SESSION IN DEPTH PREMARITAL PROGRAM
The 3-Session Premarital Program includes the relationship inventory questionnaire that measures the couple’s agreement in eleven different areas: 
♦ marital expectations
♦ personality issues
♦ communication
♦ conflict resolution
♦ financial management
♦ leisure activities
♦ sexual relationship
♦ children and parenting
♦ family and friends
♦ role relationships
♦ spiritual life.
The couple spends three sessions with our counselors reviewing the strengths and growth areas of the relationship, working on communication and conflict resolution skills, and developing a vision for their marriage. This premarital preparation program will give you the opportunity to assess your relationship, build on your strengths as a couple, gain communication skills, and develop a vision for your future. At Cill Dara Pastoral Counseling, we believe that these elements will provide the foundation for a lasting, successful marriage.
