How Important Is Premarital Counseling

The importance of premarital counseling.


I am a firm believer that before entering into a marital commitment, every couple should seek some pre-marital counseling. This is a sensitive topic for most couples. Some couples are apprehensive about the idea of seeing a therapist, particularly because everything is going well.

Many couples believe that seeking a therapist is mainly for couples in trouble. Premarital counseling is geared towards healthy relationships.


Here are some reasons why seeking pre-marital counseling is important:

• Allows couples to look at a life for ever after.


• Prepares couples for the adjustments of married life


• Maintaining a successful marriage, is not about how your fights are, but rather how you both resolve the fight.


• Understanding each others needs and support.


• Becoming a team vs one against the other.

Please note* Whether you have been married before or never been married at all, getting married is an adjustment. Believe it or not you may be living with your soon to be husband, however; you both will be surprised how different your relationship feels after the ceremony, trust me this happened to me.

As individuals we both bring different set of expectations to the marriage, this may cause some conflicts later in the relationship if it is not taken care before marriage, counseling will bring these expectations to light, in which you can both agree and or work on before walking down the aisle.

FYI* I am not a doctor, these are just some tips that can help marriages last, some of us don't think this is important when planning our wedding, but at the end of the day, and by experience, I believe this should be the first thing handled once you are engaged. This can be a marriage saver down the line.
