I’m Hope Mirlis...

A premarital counselor based in New York City and founder of A More Perfect Union. Since 2011, I've been helping engaged couples prepare for the realities of marriage through honest conversation, proven tools, and personalized guidance. I created the Marriage Roadmap Session because I kept meeting couples who'd realized—too late—that they'd spent more time planning their wedding than their marriage. This session bridges that gap, giving you a bird's eye view of your future together and the foundation you need to build a thriving partnership. My approach is practical, and discussion-based. This isn't heavy therapy or deep counseling—it's intentional planning for the most important relationship of your life.

I can’t wait to work with you to build your roadmap!

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN YOUR ROADMAP SESSION:

  • Prior to Your Session

    You'll each complete a brief intake questionnaire separately. This helps me understand your unique situation and customize our time together

  • During Our Hour Together

    We'll discuss your vision for marriage, dive deep into your priority areas, and I'll provide practical tools you can use immediately. This isn't lecture-based—it's a guided conversation tailored to you.

  • Your Custom Roadmap

    Within 3-5 days, you'll receive your personalized Marriage Roadmap with your specific action steps, conversation starters, timeline, and resources. It's yours to reference for years to come.

Every session is customized based on your priorities, but commonly includes the Big Issue topics that I use in premarital counseling

  • Financial Foundation

    Money management, debt, savings goals, account decisions, and how to talk about finances openly.

  • Communication & Conflict

    Building healthy patterns, navigating disagreements, and creating repair strategies that work for you.

  • Family Dynamics

    Setting boundaries, navigating extended family relationships, and creating new traditions together.

  • Future Planning

    Children, career goals, home ownership, major life transitions, and timeline alignment.

  • Home & Life Rhythms

    Household responsibilities, daily routines, and balancing togetherness with independence.

  • Your Unique Priorities

    Whatever matters most to you—we'll make sure your roadmap reflects your specific needs and goals.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • 1. Book Your Session

    Choose a time that works for both of you. Sessions are virtual, so you can join from anywhere.

    We spend one focused hour discussing your priorities, vision, and creating your plan together.
