Marital life is like a rollercoaster, it has its ups and downs. Most couples
enter their married life with excitement about the ups and are usually not
prepared or unaware of the difficulties that may come in their marital life.
Prewedding counselling in simple terms refers to couples counselling before
the wedding. This counselling helps couples prepare for their married life,
and is very crucial. The couple may have a clash of thoughts arising due to a
differnce in opinion or perpectives.
Prewedding counselling guides and supports couples to prepare them thoroughly
for their upcoming married life. The counselling period helps them to build
and improve their relationship and develop a better understanding of eachother
s needs.

Anger management
During prewedding counselling, with the help of the counsellor, couples are
prompted to question/answer or discuss the uncomfortable and difficult
conversations that they usually avoid as it may cause distress. When these
issues are addressed beforehand the couple can then transition into their
married life smoothly.
The importance of prewedding counselling are as follows:
1. Prewedding counselling helps the couple enhance their ways of
communication. They work together with the counsellor to set some realistic
goals for their marriage and future. Counselling helps them to build skills
for conflict and behavioral management.
2. The initial sessions of the counselling prepare the couple to understand
the depth and significance of marital relationships to prepare them mentally
for any hurdles. Changing environments and co-habitation can cause some
stress and
anxiety. Counselling can help adjusting to these new changes.
3. The next part of the counselling sessions helps the couple with
compatibility. Counsellors assess their compatibility in all aspects, not
just a single quality. Issues pertaining to inter-religion/caste/status
marriages are also disclosed and discussed to avoid any future problems that
might root from it.
4. Counselling is also important for the couple to address areas relating to
responsibilities and roles for their future life. Some aspects are- handling
relative and societal affairs, professional life, lifestyles, gender
equalities, ideas relating to having children, etc.
5. Due to an increase in divorce rates, prewedding counselling has become
all the more popular. It is highly recommended for couples to add prewedding
online counselling
in their wedding plan as it holds equal/more importance for their ‘happily
ever after’.
