Palace officials say Prince William and his fiancée Kate Middleton are to receive counseling on how to handle marital pressures from senior British clergy.
The couple are expected to meet the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London before they marry in late April, say officials.
Pastoral care typically includes discussions on how to handle disagreements, and how to prepare for the changes brought by parenthood.
Officials have stressed the counseling sessions, which are common for Britons preparing to marry, will be strictly confidential.
The marriage of William's parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, ended in divorce.
