A feature of many traditional religions is that they will not marry two people who have not first completed a marriage preparation course of counseling. This is an old fashioned idea, but one that has a lot of merit and has been proven over hundreds of years. Marriage preparation can be considered as a sort of pre-emptive marriage counseling course - the ultimate aim is to make sure that there are not any unresolved issues between the couple that may endanger the marriage at the beginnin... more...

Most of us have a certain idea about what marriage counseling is all about - we usually always think of it as a modern idea, having grown out of the increase in divorces over the past years. Getting marriage counseling to most people would seem to indicate that the marriage is in some real trouble, and that getting counseling is a sort of last ditch effort to save it from disaster or divorce. It is very unfortunate that we have developed this incorrent association. In the olden days, mar... more...

Sooner or later, you or your partner might find that your marriage might need some help. That should not be thought of as defeat or failure on your end nor your partners - after all, human relationships are known to be notoriously difficult and never perfect, and admitting that you both need marriage help is actually the first step to getting it. There is nothing to be gained by being in denial about marriage problems especially if there are children involved. Marriages might need help f... more...

While it is true that not all marriage problems can be solved, but many can. As recently as a few generations ago, divorce was not considered a viable option for most people. Even today, there are religious groups who consider divorce unacceptable except in the event of certain extenuating circumstances - such as abuse or adultery. That point of view is not for everyone, but it is undeniable that marriage problems are put into a different perspective when there is no real choice but to solve the... more...

The sad fact is that far too many people wait too long before going for marriage counseling and in most cases it ends up being too late. Counseling has the potential to save marriages, by providing a space in which couples can explore their sources of conflict and arrive at a new understanding of their relationship and with each other. Unfortunately, many people tend to hesitate before going into counseling. For some, counseling may even seem like an admission of failure. That's truly unfor... more...

Marriages vary widely in terms of how much conflict the partners tolerate. Partners in a volatile marriage are highly expressive and willing to give and take a fairly large amount of conflict, whereas partners in a conflict-avoiding marriage, by definition, try to minimize clashes and downplay displays of emotionality. According to UN studies, about 1 million people are forced into marriages around the world. According to Khanum, the girls are usually cowed into submission by threats. The... more...

Partners must share their feelings about life, each other, themselves, etc. In order to understand each other, communication must be present. Partners should not consider divorce just because "everyone else is doing it - and they survived". The opinion or pressure from the parents, siblings or friends should not influence your own decision. Communicating about problems and concerns is important but it's also important to communicate about your aspirations and even your daily ... more...

They say marriages are made in heaven. On earth, they are only brought to fruition. Perhaps that is the reason why most people do not exactly know what it means to get married. There are an alarming number of people who marry just because everyone is doing it or because their best friend just got married or because their parents tell them to do so. Certainly, if there is such a perspective towards marriage, it is not going to last. In the Christian Church, marriages are not allowed before... more...

When lovers take the plunge and say their vows, they sincerely wish their conjugality to last for a lifetime. They aim to spend the duration of their lives together as partners, growing older with each other and spending every cheery moment conceivable with each other. However, sometimes things don't seem to work out that way. Partners fight, argue and disagree on certain issues and get all riled up at each other. This is commonplace to some point but you must not let it adversely i... more...
