Couples Counseling

Pre Marriage Counselling

All over, this world we find that divorce rates among couples is increasing by the day. Earlier it was only in the Western countries that this trend was mostly prevalent while it was quite uncommon in the Asian countries, which gave importance to marriage. But now we find that many Asian countries have also caught up with the Western countries as far as divorces are concerned. This only shows that values in marriages are being disregarded and couples are finding that they are unable to get along with their spouses after a period of time. There is thus an acute need for pre marriage counselling.

People fall in love very easily and it is this love for one another that leads them to get married. But what happens after some time is that the love which they had for each other at the beginning of their marriage has suddenly evaporated. Now they are just two people living in a home tolerating each other.

There are many factors, which could have lead to the love for one another deteriorating, and they could be abuse, depression, alcoholism, stress, psychosomatic disorders, extra marital affairs etc. Being taken for granted is another factor which could lead to distance between couples.

People intending to get married should definitely attend a pre marriage counselling session. When couples attend these pre marriage workshops or counselling they will be taught to communicate effectively after marriage. To understand and respect their spouses feelings, views and emotions, and to turn their marriage into a meaningful and lasting relationship based on mutual trust and love. Participants will also be taught to give enough attention to their spouse, which will make them feel wanted.

Pre marriage counseling sessions are mostly interactive workshops where the participants are taught to enter into marriage with plenty of awareness, clear thinking and understanding, and help them to develop themselves into respectful, trustworthy partners.

The sessions also throw light to young couples on healthy sexual relationships.

Pre marriage counseling helps the partners who intend to get married know each other better, their likes and dislikes and to also respect everything about each other.
Pre marriage counseling sessions can be availed from qualified marriage counselors or if you are a Christian then you can take the help of Christian marriage counselors.  You can also read books written by people who have plenty of experience in the subject or you could log on to the internet and find out all you want about pre marriage counseling.
