Premarriage Counseling
Pre-marital Counselling is the best step you will take for your life ahead before saying, yes I do or saying Yes I will marry you. Get to Know what personality your life partner is. How & what impact it will have in your life ahead. Everyone has a different character and we do things differently, but it’s hard when you have to change your personality for someone else’s demands.
Whether the person you are about to be married to or thinking of a proposal for commitment is the right person or not depends on what you both will be expecting from each other.
There can be conflicting thoughts even before the marriage like
- Are you marrying for the right reasons?
- How is the communication between the two of you?
- Are you ready to adjust to the new family?
- Will you be working after the marriage or what plans do you have after the wedding maybe you want to move to a different location. How does the partner feel about these practical expectations?
- In India, if you are a single child, you would want to take care of your parents as they get older. Are you and your partner ok with you to support your family after marriage?
- How long have you known your partner or met? Was this a meeting in front of parents only or have to speak to each other and get to know each other?
- Are you having second thoughts about this marriage?
- When you committed did you commit after going through your & partners’ personality?
- Do you have some secret of your life you are afraid of sharing with your partner because you feel your partner will judge you?
- Do you fight sometimes or argue what are the problem skills of both partners?
- Are your values the same as your partner’s?
- How is communication between the two of you? Are you looking for validation from the partner most of the time?
- Are you ready to settle down?
- What is the voice in your head is telling you about this relationship?
- Do you hate to compromise but here you feel you are compromising with your life itself? How long a relationship will last is based on compromise.
- Are you marrying because all your friends are married and don’t want to be left alone?
- Do you see some flaws in the partner now but feel you will able to change them after marriage?
How Pre-marital Counselling helps?
Premarital Counselling’s Effect on Couple Contentment
Premarital Counselling is one approach that may help couples avoid future problems in their union.
During premarital Counselling, a couple works with a counselor to foresee and prepare for any difficulties that might come in the marriage.
Premarital Counselling has been demonstrated to increase the likelihood of a happy and fulfilling marriage.
This is due to the fact that premarital Counselling teaches partners how to successfully communicate with one another and resolve disputes, all of which contribute to a happier marriage.
Potential sources of tension in a marriage can be pinpointed with the aid of premarital Counselling, such as a spouse’s preference for an alternative form of communication or a more hands-off approach to managing the family finances.
Couples can lower their risk of divorce and marital unhappiness by working through these problems before they escalate.
The Value of an Upbeat Outlook
Finally, it’s worth noting that keeping a positive outlook is crucial to a flourishing marriage.
Couples who look for the best in each other and seek to cultivate an attitude of thankfulness and appreciation for one another are more likely to have a joyful and fulfilling relationship over the long haul.
One way to do this is to make an effort to focus on and express appreciation for the many wonderful things about your partner and your relationship.
Further, couples that work hard to put their relationship first and make time for one another are more likely to keep their connection strong and healthy over time.
Conclusion
Marriage has the potential to bring forth a great deal of joy and fulfillment.
But it’s not all roses, and both partners need to put in the effort if they want to be happy and healthy.
Couples may increase their chances of having a happy and successful marriage for many years to come by making premarital counselling and optimistic outlooks a priority, as well as stressing efficient communication, intimacy, and a shared sense of purpose.
