Premarital Counselling

SEVEN ISSUES YOU CAN EXPECT TO DISCUSS IN PREMARITAL COUNSELLING

 

Of course, marriage is not a short-term relationship that will end shortly. In fact, this relationship brings two different individuals close to each other forever. Despite marrying willingly, couples go through difficulties. Some of them seek a solution together, some of them visit a marriage counselor and some end up in divorce.

“As per data published, India ranks the lowest on the global divorce rate indexes. The divorce rate in India is lower than 1%. A BBC report of 2016 stated, “Out of 1000, only 13 marriages end in divorce in India. 1.36 million People in India are divorced that is equivalent to 0.24% of the married population, and 0.11% of the total population.”

Online counselling has the potential to bring out the change in the favor of couples and pre-marital counselling is one of the best examples that couples now understand the true meaning of counselling that does not also guide them to resolve marital conflicts but also helps couples to prepare themselves mentally before they get hitched.

Premarital counselling is a sort of couple therapy that helps a couple to prepare for marriage. It is provided by a marriage counselor and therapist. It is believed that counselling before marriage offers benefits to all those couples who are thinking about a long-term commitment. Identification and addressing the areas where serious conflict may take place after marriage can be the right thing that a couple can do before tying the knot. Couples are taught effective strategies so that they can discuss and resolve their conflicts on their own. Couples find that premarital counselling assists them better to know their perspective regarding marriage and to understand their individual differences in a secured environment.

PREMARITAL COUNSELLING: GIVE IT A SHOT…!

Premarital counselling works like a blueprint for couples, which guides them to make their decision clearly, if the situation goes wrong for them. There are some benefits which are the following:

  • It is intended to help couples to be on the same page while discussing several important issues.
  • It equips the couples with effective tools to navigate successfully.
  • It teaches them problem solving and conflict-resolution skills.
  • It encourages them to focus on the positive aspects of the relationship and to ignore the negative ones.

It helps them to understand the behavior patterns of their partners and eliminates dysfunctional behavior

DISCUSSION OF MAJOR ISSUES DURING PREMARITAL COUNSELLING

 Premarital counselling aims to improve couples’ relationships and aids them to build a strong foundation for taking vows. The process requires the full participation of both the partners in order to discuss some major issues, which have been mentioned below:

  1. Finances: Couples must be transparent regarding their lifestyle and spending habits. They should not keep secrets about salaries, and debt. They must clear all the issues like who will handle the household expenses, and who will be the saver.
  2. Children: This issue is meant to be discussed early before marriage. It is important to make sure that both the partners agree on certain decisions. If they want children then when and how many and if one of them denies to take the responsibility then others should respect the decision of their partner. Couples do not hesitate to talk about if their partner experience infertility, birth defects, miscarriages, unplanned pregnancies or want other options such as fostering or adopting.
  3. Environment: Settling down in another environment is always not easy, as couples may not have lived together before. Couples need to discuss whether their partners agree to live with them in that present location or if they want to move to another city or new apartment or house.
  4. Extended family and support: Marrying your partner is to marry their family. Therefore, it is important that both the families get involved in the process of marriage. Since a couple takes vows, they become the architects of their family. Both the partners are advised about their married life by their respective families that actually help in avoiding irrelevant arguments.
  5. Religion: Both the partners may have individual differences such as different religions. It always goes tricky and creates a mess between both of them. They both are pre-determined to accept each other’s religion and beliefs. It should be discussed as well what religious knowledge and education would be given to the kids.
  6. Resolving conflicts productively: Couples may experience conflicts in their married life but handling them is also an important part, played by the couples. Counselling prepares you in the productive manner to face such conflicts that may create hindrances in order to spoil your happy-married life.
  7. Relationship expectations: Sometimes, couples are not satisfied with their relationship as they feel that their partners’ expectations and perceptions are entirely different from theirs. This affects their relationship badly. Premarital counselling provides the opportunity to all couples to know what do their partners expect and how do they perceive the things, and what do they want from their partners? Couples are able to get all the answers by following just one thing before they marry and that is premarital counselling.
