Online premarital course for engaged couples
The conversations you keep putting off are walking down the aisle with you.
Finally talk through the hard stuff about money, in-laws and kids, and say "I do" knowing you're on the same team for whatever comes next.
- 9 modules
- 33 lessons
- About 4 hours
- Lifetime access
You probably agree on almost everything. Have you really?
Ask each other three questions tonight:
- Who pays which bills, and from which account?
- Where are we spending the holidays next year?
- How many kids, and when?
If even one answer surprised you, you just found a conversation you need to have.
Every expectation you don't say out loud comes with you into the marriage. It usually surfaces on a tired weeknight, in the middle of something else, when neither of you is at your best.
You'll never have more time, more excitement or a better reason to talk than you do right now.
Meet your coach
For 11 years I've stood at the altar with couples. I can always spot the ones who did the hard talking first.
I'm Kristi Brooks-Olivo, a premarital coach and marriage educator. For more than 11 years I've officiated weddings and coached couples in the months before them.
The couples who stood in front of me relaxed and sure of each other had something in common. They had already sat down and talked through money, family and what they expected from each other.
Weekly premarital counseling sessions don't fit every engagement. So I built Ready for Marriage: the same conversations I guide couples through one-on-one, in a course you can do at home on your own schedule.

Introducing
Ready for Marriage
A self-paced premarital course for engaged couples who want to feel as close in year ten as they do right now. Every lesson ends with a conversation you have together, so each one leaves you a little closer and a lot more sure of each other.
By the end, you'll:
- Feel proud of what's already strong between you, and know how to protect it
- Understand why your partner reacts the way they do, and take it personally a lot less
- Feel safe bringing up anything, even money, without bracing for a fight
- Trust that you can get through a disagreement and come out of it closer
- Breathe easier knowing money, in-laws and kids aren't off-limits anymore
- Get excited all over again about the marriage you're building together
This course is for you if:
- You're engaged, over the moon, and want that feeling to last
- You get a little knot in your stomach when money or in-laws come up
- You keep saying "we'll talk about it later," and later never seems to come
- You want to feel as ready for the marriage as you are for the wedding
- You'd rather have these talks on your couch than in someone's office
What's inside: 9 modules, 33 lessons
What couples I've coached are saying
"We honestly signed up thinking we didn't need it. We never fight. Turns out we just never talked about the hard stuff. The money conversation alone was worth it. We walked out feeling like teammates instead of two people hoping for the best."
"Doing it over video actually made it easier to be honest. There were things I said in those sessions I'd never said out loud before, and it never felt awkward. We use the check-in exercise every single week now."
"I tell every engaged couple I know to do this before the wedding. It's not therapy, it's not a lecture. It's six conversations that make you feel genuinely ready. We cried, we laughed, and we stopped having the same argument on repeat."

I'll also send a few short emails with conversation starters you can try this week.
Questions couples ask
Is this counseling or therapy?
No. It's a guided course that gets you talking about the big stuff before the wedding. If you're working through something serious, I'll always point you to a licensed therapist.
Do we both need to do it?
Yes, it's designed for the two of you together. One purchase covers you both.
How long does it take?
About 4 hours of lessons, plus time for your conversations. It's self-paced. Many couples do one module a week, but you can go faster or slower.
How long do we have access?
Forever. Your purchase includes lifetime access, plus every new module and update I add in the future, at no extra cost. Come back to any lesson or worksheet after the wedding too.
We're long distance. Will it work?
Yes. Work through the lessons on your own, then talk them over on a video call.
We already live together. Is it still worth it?
Yes. Sharing a home sorts out the logistics, but plenty of couples who live together have still never talked through money, family plans or what they expect from each other once they're married.
Can we work with you one-on-one instead?
Yes. You can add a private 60-minute session with me for $127 when you enroll. If you'd like more than one session, I also offer full private premarital coaching. Learn about coaching with Kristi
The easiest time to have these talks is before the wedding.
After the honeymoon, life speeds up: new routines, holidays with two families, maybe a move or a joint budget. Start now, while you have the time and the excitement to do it well.
