Pre-marital Counseling

We are going to get married in Texas but live in Maryland. Could you help us find someone who performs pre-marital counseling?

Generally the pre-marital counseling is associated with marriages held in a church or synagogue. The requirements differ with religions and churches. Our best suggestion is to contact the officiant who will perform your marriage and discuss pre-marital counseling and/or if you regularly go to a church where you live, discuss this with your clergyperson. If you do not regularly attend anywhere, contact a local church/synagogue of the same faith as where you will be married. If this is a requirement prior to your marriage, you can probably do it in Maryland. If you aren't getting married in a religious setting, then pre-marital counseling is not a requirement before your wedding, although it may be a good idea.
