Would you choose your partner again?

As I celebrate over 25 years experience as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist, it gives me great pleasure to be able to extend my work to that of an independent qualified celebrant. www.jacquibirdcelebrant.co.uk

So, whether your about to get married to each other for the first time or whether you are choosing your partner again and making new promises together to celebrate your love and ongoing commitment. I am here to support you and write for you a beautiful ceremony.

I can draw upon my experience of working with couples and families and integrate my skills to provide a beautiful bespoke ceremony just for you.

As I reflect on my work with couples it reminds me of one powerful, thought-provoking question that is often asked.

Would you choose your partner again?

If the answer is yes, then the next question is “how would like to tell your relationship story? the answer unfolds with a narrative about the most beautiful memories of the journey spent together. The strengths that the couple hold and the milestones they have achieved.

So often in relationship therapy couples are working towards being able to confidently say “yes I would choose my partner again” and there is no greater privilege than supporting them on that journey. Helping them to recreate a storey that is different to the one they initially brought to therapy. Consideration which is not just about getting back on track or going back in time, but it is indeed about moving towards a lasting relationship that is filled with different ways of relating to one another, new and exciting ways of communicating and appreciating one another and above all learning to love each other all over again.

Following relationship therapy with a vow renewal is a beautiful way to celebrate your love story. It allows you to reflect on the milestones you’ve achieved and reaffirm the promises you made.

Whether you are approaching a milestone anniversary or simply want to celebrate the life you've built together, renewing your vows is the perfect way to pause, reflect, and fall in love all over again. It is a deeply personal opportunity to look back on your journey and declare your continued commitment to one another in front of everyone who matters most.

It is a deeply personal opportunity to look back at the journey you’ve weathered, celebrate your triumphs, and declare your continued commitment to one another in front of those who matter most.

If you’re choosing each other for the first time why not consider pre-marital therapy

Pre-Marital therapy is about working together for a short time to help you prepare as a couple for long term commitment.

Pre-marital therapy is where I help you both to prepare for the commitment you have both agreed to make to one another. Providing you with effective communications tools to help you talk openly to each other, to share your values, your roles and goals.

Your wedding is all about you and the storey you create together, but a marriage is so much more than that it is about working together to consider your dreams and expectations of each other, looking at how you currently deal with the highs and lows that life throws at you. Every couple will experience highs and lows, that is a normal way of being but learning how to deal with things differently is what makes the difference. Pre-marital therapy leaves you feeling fully equipped to confidently know that you would choose each other again.
