The officiant is in the business of marriage, not just weddings and only wishes that your wedding day and your marriage to be successful. An officiant should be trusted and the couple should be able to confide with him. Personal matters will be discussed, and conversations will be frank and open. A couple might see the officiant as a stranger, but after your wedding he will not be. He will be there in time of reassurance that your marriage will be a strong one.

Issues discussed will be ones that involve conflict or potential conflict within your future relationship. Past personal matters will be addressed and in these talks with your officiant he will help guide the couple in resolving the issues at hand. The officiant is to ensure that all problems have been laid out on the table to be handle before making the commitment into the life of marriage.

Communication is at the utmost importance in relationships. Listening to each other is a component of a marriage that makes it successful. Many of these meetings will revolve on how to discuss issues and feeling without fighting. Many couples have the hot topics, that never seem to be resolved and the officiant will help tackle these issues.

An issue of conflict is the in-laws on both sides of the bride and groom. Engagement into Marriage is a time a transition and family roles change. One is no longer a son�s girlfriend or a daughter�s boyfriend, the bride and groom are now one family unit. An officiant will go over possible conflicts such as the amount of time one spends with their in-laws and how the couple decides to divide up their holiday time between the two families.

Officiants will discuss commonalities and dissimilarities in personalities and interests. A couple should feel comfortable with not only what they enjoy together, but also what they don�t enjoy together. There is nothing wrong with having different hobbies, as long as one respects each other�s interest. Also an officiant might discuss how similar interests might create conflict in itself, with one spouse doing much better then the other in the same career field.

Issues of sex, children, and life expectations will be addressed. Don�t fear the conversations are confidential and are only between you, your future spouse, and the person with the power to create your marriage. Counseling is not an invasion of a couple�s trust for one another, but to mend the loose threads of a relationship before making a full commitment.
