✦ Synopsis
Research shows that premarital counseling programs help engaged couples develop interpersonal and problem‐solving skills that enhance their marital relationships. Yet, there are limited services for same‐sex couples. This article assumes an integrated humanistic and social justice advocacy stance to explore the needs of lesbian, gay, and bisexual partners and develop recommendations for providing affirmative premarital counseling, with implications for counseling practice, training, and research.
