Marriage Preparation Meetup

Welcome Committed Couples! The Marriage Preparation Meetup exists for one reason: to help couples build marriages that last.

Las Vegas may be the wedding capital of the world, but we're focused on what comes after the ceremony.

This group brings together engaged couples, seriously dating partners, newlyweds, and committed couples who are ready to invest in their relationship — not just their wedding day.

Everything we do is grounded in published research and the PREPARE/ENRICH premarital counseling program, a research-backed approach proven to reduce the risk of divorce by 31%.

Through workshops, group discussions, expert speakers, and our signature Engaged Weekender retreats, members gain real relationship skills in a warm, supportive community setting.

You should join if you:

• Are engaged
• Seriously dating
• Newly married
• In a committed relationship
• Want practical, research-backed tools — not generic advice
• Are ready to tackle the real topics: communication, finances, conflict resolution, intimacy, family dynamics, and more
• Are looking for community with other couples on the same journey

Inclusivity
This group is inclusive and welcoming to couples of all faiths, cultural backgrounds, sexualities, and relationship structures.

Non-Religious with a Spiritual Component
Our program includes a spirituality segment but is thoughtfully designed for everyone — including agnostic and atheist couples.

Our Marriage Expert
Led by Graciela Pacheco, MFT — a dual-state licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and certified PREPARE/ENRICH counselor with over a decade of experience — this is a space where preparation meets community.
Because your wedding is one day. Your marriage is for life.
