Premarital counseling of divorced persons who plan to remarry poses unique pastoral challenges for clergy of the Episcopal Church due to the inherent complexity that often accompanies remarriage and the requirement that a bishop approve. This project addresses these challenges by proposing a three-to-four session model of premarital counseling. The model was designed over seven years of parish ministry. Twenty-three clergy in seven dioceses were questioned concerning methods of premarital counseling and the need for a model. The model also incorporates findings from a survey of literature on: dealing with marriage, divorce and remarriage; the experiences of separation, divorce and remarriage, and reconstituting families; premarital counseling; and Episcopal canon law on holy matrimony. While the model has not been tested in an experimental design, it has proven useful to me and should be useful to other clergy.
