The Benefits Of Counseling Before And After Marriage

By Jeannie Chapman


In most places marriage is considered a rite of passage. This is why it is advisable to get into it knowing everything there is to know about this institution. Since marriage is a long time investment and not many people are experienced, except people who have been in previous marriages, it is recommendable to seek counseling. This gives you a rough idea on what to expect from your partner and how to live harmoniously. This also gives the couple several ways of solving conflicts or misunderstandings in an amicable way.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
