Why You Need Counseling Before Marriage

By Jeannie Chapman


Marriage is an institution that every individual looks forward to get into. It is always smooth when couples are in relationships as most of the behaviors are reserved at this time. After marriage, things that you did not see before and those that you probably would not like, start to spring up. For this reason and others, couples may find that they are not prepared to stay together. Quarrels and fights in the family are some of the reasons why couples should seek counseling before and after marriage instead of separating.

There are several types of counseling and counselors for different stages of every relationship. Premarital counseling is meant for couples that are looking forward to tying the knot. Though it is not mandatory for couples to attend this program, it is greatly recommended. In cases where the couples have different religious beliefs, the counselors come in handy in offering sound advice on how to respect the beliefs of your partner while still maintain the spark in the marriage.

Since marriage is a lifelong commitment, it is important to make sure you are getting married for all the right reasons. A marriage counselor takes you through the expectations and responsibilities of the couple. A marriage counselor also gives the couple advice on how to relate with other married couples and the in-laws. This is very vital because it is practically extending your family to accommodate a second set of parents and siblings.

It is normally very hard to come to terms with situations like long distance relationships, medical concerns as well as psychological disorders. In such circumstances, it is important to seek for the services of a counselor. This way, as a couple you will be able to stay committed to each other. One can also seek for these services to eliminate drug abuse problems and self-esteem issues.

The most common types of psychoanalysis are premarital, therapy and specialized psychoanalysis. Premarital one can be categorized into two main groups: one which is based on the law and the other one on the faith of the couples. The faith-based one involves the role of religion in the marriage. Law-based psychoanalysis on the other hand deals with the family planning, communication, finances and legal requirements of marriage just to mention a few.

The other type of psychoanalysis is therapy psychoanalysis. This deals in topics like substance abuse or a case where a partner could be having a certain bad behavior that they feel hard to let go. This type also covers emotional stress emanating from the past abuse. The counselor helps the couple solve these problems including medical concerns.

Specialized psychoanalysis covers a wide range of topic including finances, parenting, career among others. Financial one deals with all matters concerning money that may arise in the marriage. Career psychoanalysis covers everything to do with occupation, especially on how a couple can accommodate each other in marriage despite their occupation. Parenting one deals with bearing and raising children and the family psychoanalysis is meant for couples who have kids from their past relationships.

Couples, engaged or not, can also seek counseling from churches or offices licensed to see over marriages. In this type of psychoanalysis they are required to attend several sessions for them to be considered to have finished the course. The main aim of psychoanalysis is that the couple gets into marriage with the same interests and well-being of everyone involved.
