Unio : the 100% online & secular premarital couseling program
A solid, happy couple is something you have to work on. The Unio course is ideal for the couples who want to :
- Discover the strengths of their relationship and how to make the most of them.
- Develop their communication and conflict resolution skills, enabling them to tackle the most difficult situations with respect and love.
- Experience rich moments together, in the intense and sometimes tumultuous period of wedding preparations, to rediscover themselves and put their love back at the core of their approach.
- Devote time and energy to materializing their commitment as a soon-to-be-married couple.
In the privacy of your sweet home, Unio offers you moments of exchange to care for your relationship as a couple. After all, the engagement period is the best time to reflect together on deep issues and on your couple’s fundamental values !
The course is aimed above all at young couples who have decided to get married. It accompanies engaged couples on the road to marriage. However, most of the topics covered may be of more general interest to couples who, without necessarily having decided to get married, have chosen to make a real long-term commitment. Or also recently married couples who haven’t necessarily prepared for marriage and regret it.
Quite simply, it’s a preparation for a sustainable life together ! This program is not, however, a therapy for couples in crisis. If this is your case, therapy with a specialist will be much more appropriate. Don’t give up !
Why don’t you try the 1st session rather than launching into the full program, to see if he·she likes the approach, without any pressure ? We’ve designed the program to appeal to everyone, with rundowns to read, but also to listen to for those less comfortable with reading.
The first session is commitment-free. If you like the program, you can pay for the rest of the course at a later date.

The Unio premarital counseling program
The program consists of 7 sessions, each of which should take around 4 hours to complete (2 hours individually and 2 hours together).
- Each session consists of a section of reading and reflection, to be carried out separately online. This reading section is also available in audio, for those of you who don’t read so well.
- Then there’s time to reflect together, at home, at your own pace.
Exactly ! Our course is open to all and suitable for all couples 🙂
Absolutely ! Unio will enable you to take stock of your past, what went wrong and what you’ve learned from it. This journey of reflection will give you a new, solid and thoughtful starting point.
It’s up to you. Each session lasts around 4 hours (2 hours individually and 2 hours together).
You can organize the sessions as you wish, but we recommend that you do one every 3 weeks, so that it’s not too dense and you have time to fully immerse yourself in each one without pressure.
At this rate, the program should take about 5 months.
Each session consists of four parts :
- The first part is to be done individually, at your own pace. It begins with short readings or audio on the theme of the session. Then each of you takes a quizz on the subject (about ten questions).
- The second part is optional. In this section, we’ve provided some suggestions for further reading on the subject, or podcasts to listen to… It’s up to you to shop around if you’d like to delve deeper into a particular theme.
- The third part is for lovers. We’d advise you to set aside an evening (or some other time) just for the two of you, put your phones away and prepare something nice for yourself : order in your favorite restaurant, put on a playlist you like, open a good bottle of wine…
The aim during these few hours is to discuss your answers to each of the questions you’ve answered individually, using them as a basis for exchange on these subjects.
At the end of the session, you answer questions on one of the profiles (which will automatically be shared on the second profile), and complete exercises that you can come back to again and again : when preparing your ceremony, later on in moments of joy or difficulty… - The last part is again optional. Once again, we’ve provided you with resources to explore the theme in greater depth, as well as ideas for activities to put into practice what you’ve learned during the session !
Once again, it’s up to you. One session may take longer than another, depending on whether or not you want to spend time on it. Nevertheless, a complete session lasts 4 hours on average :
- 2h individually whenever you like,
- 2 hours together on a romantic evening.
Of course, this will vary according to the importance you attach to each theme, the additional questions raised, and so on.
- your individual histories and your shared history,
- your commitment,
- your communication,
- your sexuality,
- your difficulties,
- your desire (or not) to start a family,
- your life plans.
You’ll have access for life.
With this in mind, we’ve devised a series of debriefing questions at the end of each session. We’re convinced that your current reflections will help you at various milestones, difficulties… in your future life as a couple.
To keep a concrete record of your preparation, we’ll send you an e‑book at the end of the course with all your shared answers !
