In SiriusXM Interview, Chris Pratt Says Premarital Counseling Set Holiday Rules

Pratt says six premarital sessions at St. Monica’s produced a written list that headed off future disputes.

Overview

  • On the Feb. 6 episode of Rob Lowe’s Literally! With Rob Lowe podcast, Pratt described completing about six counseling sessions before marrying Katherine Schwarzenegger.
  • He said the couple created a “list of directives” in advance to clarify expectations and avoid first‑year disagreements.
  • One example he shared: play Christmas music starting Nov. 1 and take the tree down on Dec. 26.
  • Pratt urged others to consider premarital counseling, calling it a way to defuse potential “landmines” and a “great gift” to a future spouse.
  • The pair married in June 2019 at San Ysidro Ranch and also held a ceremony at St. Monica’s; they share three young children, and Pratt’s son Jack from a previous marriage, with Schwarzenegger previously seeking step‑parenting guidance.
