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.

While in relationship, a couple should seek the services of a counselor for a number of reasons. For example, the man and the woman in the relationship are of different faith believes. A counselor will help them solve their difference and come up with a way forward of solving their marriage.

Two very young people who have decided to get married may not know the challenges of marriage. A counselor is able to take them through what to expect when they are married and their duties to ensure they are well informed and prepared for the lifelong commitment. There are special cases of couples or one partner who has had an abusive past. A counselor is able to help them get over past emotions and be able to trust and rely on each other.

There are cases of couples who have special life circumstances like long distance relationships, psychological disorders and medical concerns. It may be difficult to come to terms with these situations when married and be able to stay committed but with the help of a counselor couples understand the need to hold on and stay happy no matter how they may feel. Other special cases that have to seek psychoanalysis include people with drug abuse problems, self-esteem issues among others.

There are different types of psychoanalysis available for engaged couples. The first type is premarital psychoanalysis which can be recommended by law or the faith of the couples. The law requires couples to be counseled on family planning, finances, communication, legal requirements of marriage among others. The faith-based psychoanalysis revolves around matters concerning the role of religion in marriage, how they are to relate to each other and God and the contribution of church in the growth of their marriage.

Another very common type of psychoanalysis therapy counseling. This one deals mostly with substance abuse or where one or both of the partners are hooked on drugs. In this kind of psychoanalysis the couple is advised on how to stay clean and support each other through the withdrawal period. It also involves helping the couple handle the emotional stress from previous relationships or abuse.

Specialized psychoanalysis covers a wide range of topics like finances which handles every topic about money that may arise in marriage. Parenting is under this category and it guides couples on what to expect when they decide to start bearing children and raising them. Career counseling deals with matters concerning career path and how to work together to ensure each partner is fulfilled in their career and the relationship. Family counseling is concerned with couples who already have kids from past relationships.

Counseling has done a tremendous job in saving breaking marriages in the last few years, and even now, it cannot be overlooked. You can seek help from offices permitted to officiate marriages or church on how to undergo this program. At the end of the day, you will be equipped well to start the journey of marriage with a common goal.
