About the Program

Now that you are in a serious relationship or engaged and soon be married, you tend to look at the voyage ahead of you with lots of enthusiasm and sometimes with a little bit of skepticism. As you decide to set off on this ship together, as life partners, there are many new adventures you would explore. While some may be familiar routes that you easily cruise through, some others may give you the jitters of sailing in the unknown waters. Research points out that the biggest struggle during the first few years of marriage is due to unmet expectations. There is also much research available on couples, demonstrating that successful marriages are ones that use healthy relationship skills on an everyday basis.

The Premarital Preparation Program is a one-of-its-kind personalized online one-to-one mentoring program for couples who are contemplating getting married. It offers a safe and non-confrontational space for you and your partner to mutually understand the dynamics of ‘us’ in your relationship while embracing the ‘me’. It nudges you to delve deeper into your desires and ambitions and set clear expectations for each other on your journey together. It also helps you recognize areas where you can adapt to each other’s needs without dissolving your identity with techniques tailor-fit to your specific emotional and personal needs.

 

The guided conversations in this program will help you lay a strong foundation in your relationship by helping you discover each other deeply. It will also equip you with the essential relationship skills you both need as you turn a new leaf into your relationship as a couple.

 

This program is based on the science of intimate relationships and years of research-backed frameworks that are, derived, from what actually works in a thriving relationship and not based on general, idealistic projections of what a relationship should be. It includes personalized assessments of the couple’s relationship dynamics, stress maps, personality, strengths, growth areas, and much more.

What Other Participants Had to Say?

Very practical in helping us understand things based on our own context


The day was amazing. The sessions on relationship management, financial stability and all the other activities made me understand my partner well – how I think, what she feels and how we both can merge our thoughts together. The team also was very practical in helping us understand things based on our own context. Thank you so much.

Well structured way of understanding someone who I need to be spending the rest of my life with


We were asked to attend this program by my fiancé’s sister. I felt it was more practical than sitting at a coffee shop and have conversations that may not give the actual context. This was indeed a more practical and structured way of understanding someone who I need to be spending the rest of my life with. The experience was amazing and beautiful. It made me to be in the real time and come out of my perceptions and apprehensions of marriage because I understood a lot of things about my future fiancé and I felt that I can see him more from a realistic point.

Feeling confident as I am getting into an arranged marriage


Ours is (going to be) an arranged marriage. Due to the pandemic, I could only meet him online because even the girl-seeing happened online. I was not too sure whether he and I are a good match. My mentor asked me to contact TLT who I believe she had referred to many of her students. This program helped me and my fiancé know each other much better. Feeling much more confident now and waiting for our wedding in January.
