Lower Your Risk of Divorce by 31% ⟡ Research Proven ⟡
Your wedding is
one day.
Your marriage is supposed to be
for life.
Because the only thing worse than
a bad marriage
is realizing
you could have prevented it.
You're planning to wing it
Most couples think…
"We're doing great now,
so we'll be fine"
without realizing that
being married is
completely different from dating.
So while you're stressing about centerpieces and seating charts, consider investing in something that'll last longer than your wedding dress. Your marriage should be living, breathing, and thriving.
The average American wedding costs $36,000— but that's just one day. Most couples spend more on flowers than on learning relationship skills.

Half of all marriages fail— not because couples don't love each other, but because they don't have the skills to handle the realities of married life together.
50% of Marriages End in Divorce
Plus the emotional devastation, split assets, lawyer fees,
child and spousal support,
and years of your life you'll never get back.

You spent more time learning to parallel park than preparing for the most important relationship of your life. When problems hit, you'll have no roadmap.

Reduce your divorce risk by 31% with our non-religious evidence-based premarital counseling program, designed for couples planning to marry in Las Vegas.
Not Your Typical Vegas Wedding Prep
The program covers all those juicy topics like:
Communication (beyond eye rolls and heavy sighs)
Conflict Resolution (because throwing pillows isn't a long-term solution)
Finances (No need to hide those Amazon packages)
Sex & Intimacy
Children & Parenting
Family & Friends (aka the in-law survival guide)
Spirituality
Partner Habits (yes, we'll address that snoring issue)
Unlike the Vegas stereotype, we believe preparation matters. Our research-based program has been proven to reduce divorce rates by 31% – because what happens in Vegas shouldn't just stay in Vegas when it comes to marriage skills!
Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a
computer with slow internet to see who they really are.

Meet Your Marriage Mentor
Behind every successful marriage is proper preparation.
Behind Las Vegas Premarital Counseling is Graciela Pacheco, MFT – a dual-state licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) and certified PREPARE/ENRICH premarital counselor with a passion for building relationship foundations that last.
Remember, marriage is like a marathon, not a sprint, and Graciela is your personal relationship trainer. She'll help you build those emotional muscles you'll need for the long haul, because happily ever after takes work,
honey - but it's totally worth it!
As a certified PREPARE/ENRICH premarital counselor practicing since 2013, she brings research-backed methods to every session, challenging couples to move beyond "Disney Happy Endings" and build
marriages grounded in reality.
But here's where it gets interesting - she cut her teeth working with arranged marriages back in 2013. Talk about diving into the deep end! If she can successfully counsel couples who've just met their future spouse, she can handle pretty much anything.
Whether you're bringing kids from previous relationships, navigating cultural differences, on your second marriage, or maintaining celibacy before marriage, she's got your back.
Been living together for years? Perfect!
Never shared a space? Also perfect!
Getting married after three months?
*nervous laughter*
She's got you too!
