Pre-marriage Counselling
Getting Married and Worried?
Are you engaged and worried about getting married? Or are you recently married and want to start off right? A fulfilling marriage can be one of the most rewarding experiences. Surprisingly, successful partnerships that endure life’s ups and downs also experience conflict and challenge. It is how couples manage conflict that separates those who endure from those that last a short time. Pre-marriage counselling can help to ensure that your commitment to each other really is for a life-time.
Many couples have a hard time placing value on counselling when they are already in a happy, healthy relationship. But couples who pursue counselling early in their relationship can significantly reduce their risk of divorce by developing a higher level of marital satisfaction.
What to Expect from Pre-marriage Counselling
Our counsellors will help you find your relationship strengths and discuss strategies for use to prevent marital strain and overcome hurdles. We provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment to discuss areas of your relationship you wish to change or improve. We guide you to discuss important issues that every couple should explore before marriage, such as having and raising children, financial issues and establishing roles. These discussions can sometimes provoke anxiety; however, we will facilitate respectful, positive communication which will allow you both to express your authentic desires and concerns in a way that is productive and ultimately results in mutual understanding.
