Marriage therapy can also help you if are planning to get married. It is not a solution to troubled marriages alone. It can help couples who simply want to make their relationship more concrete and gain a better understanding of each other.

Yes, I agree, going to some kind of a marriage class before the wedding is very helpful. Most people think that therapy and counseling is only needed when you have marital problems, but you can prevent many of those problems by learning a thing or two beforehand.

How many of you have gone to such a class?

I've never been to anything like that and I don't think I would want to if I don't have anything to complain about. I believe that two people can communicate with each other to improve certain things without the input of a third party. However, if the marriage is on the rocks, I think it is definitely recommendable to see a professional.

With the divorce rate rising, couples need all the help they can get to help keep their marriage together. I definitely think that counseling and therapy prior to marriage will help it to last longer.

I think marriage counselling is a great idea especially for couples who are having a rough patch. And also great for couple who are planning to get married. This is to see if they are indeed ready for such a commitment.

hello,


yes you are right but marriage is not same for all some people think that it is good and some think it is bad and some realise after marriage. so it depends on the persons.



thanks

Most ministers will do some marriage classes with you before they will marry you. This way they get threw some issues that you haven't thought about. My minister was just telling us that out of everyone who has asked him to marry them, he had to decline only once. This was after the sessions he had with the couple.

Well here before getting married that church will first organize a marriage seminar and it is a must to attend. I think it's a good idea but it's up to the couple first to work things out.

I think therapy is a scary word to a lot of people, but it really has helped so many people. It doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong. I think, if affordable, everyone should have someone to talk to that's not directly connected to their situation, so they can vent and get an opinion from an outsider

"Counselling" is a less threatening word, yet many people still will not go for it. Usually, the reason is pride. It is too bad, because counselling can be very helpful. Sometimes each of the spouses "locks up" in their opinion, they stop listening, communication is blocked - or goes in circles, repeating things each one has already said several hundred times. In a situation like this, they need someone else to help them out.

Hi there, I am fully agree with your post. Keep sharing the good stuff.
