Marriage signifies an important milestone in one’s life, an uncharted territory that you’ve not explored before. A marriage has distinct physical and emotional needs, that both men and women have and the couple may also share some contrasting perspectives towards life – thus the expression, ‘Opposites attract’. In order to manage these polar opposite perspectives, marriage counselling is highly recommended before signing the deed. Starting a life together as husband and wife is as exciting as it sounds but it also brings in a load of responsibilities, changing your world around by a 180 degree. Sometimes the pressure may be well-handled while at times, the couple may be bombarded with things they did not know about each other before hand. Hence, marriage counselling could come handy in such situations!
Pre-Marriage counselling is a practice that is designed to mentally prepare couples for the journey of marriage. Not only does it help to overcome conflicts and challenges that would arise, but also gives the bride and groom-to-be an opportunity to truly get to know their better half, strengthens their relationship and promotes a happy and healthy bond.
Here are some advantages of Marriage Counselling that are sure to convince you on taking those much needed sessions before your wedding vows:
Effective Communication
Communication is the Key to a happy marriage as said by everyone who has already been through the journey. Without communicating with your partner you can’t really expect them to understand what you’re feeling without letting them know. While this is unheard of in Pakistan, looking at the latest divorce rates, we believe this is the need of the hour. Facebook group, Dil Ka Rishta is a platform that talks about the importance of pre marriage counselling. Expert and Marriage Counsellor Daheem Din emphasises on the importance of communication in her podcast she believes talking to your spouse about anything and everything under the sun is the key – not just about the rosy parts of life but the tougher the better. Discuss money, medical decisions, budget constraints, religious preferences and other heavy hitting topics and not only what their hobbies and favourite movies are. Learn how to deal with the arising conflicts in a healthy manner at your pre-marriage counselling sessions for a happy life ahead.
