Importance Of 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 relationship and premarital psychoanalysis is meant for every couple before marriage, some choose not to attend these sessions though there are particular cases where the couples have to see a counselor. A case where couples are of different faith believes they will need the help of a counselor to merge the difference and come up with a plan of how they will nurture their marriage.

Premarital psychoanalysis is also important to a young couple who may have no idea the challenges awaiting them in the marriage. A counselor will take them through a breakdown of what each of them is expected to do in marriage, their roles and duties in the marriage. This ensures that they are prepared for the lifelong commitment. If for instance one of the partner had went through an abusive experience, this professional will help them get over these past emotions. This way, they will be able to trust on each other.

Counselors also come in handy in situations when the relationship is a little different from the normal. In relationships where one person has psychological disorders or physical disabilities, the other person has to learn to accommodate their partners and their needs. This includes making sacrifices in their lifestyles and learning to put the needs of the other party and the marriage before theirs. It is also important for people who have health issues. In cases where one of the couple has a drug abuse problem, psychoanalysis is very necessary.

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.

Therapy psychoanalysis on the other hand deals with various topics like substance abuse where couples could be having such problems and need help on how to support each other and stay clean. It also covers emotional problems which can be from past abuse. Medical concerns are also under this type of psychoanalysis.

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.

Engaged couples can seek help from churches or offices licensed to officiate marriage on how to get counseling. They are required to attend a number of specified sessions to finish their program. The most important thing is that at the end of the sessions they are well equipped to start the journey of marriage with a common goal.
