| Marital Discord |
|
It said that “a wedding is an event but a marriage is an achievement”. There are a great number of factors governing the marital relationship. Not all of them are sweetly romantic. Some aspects may be harsh but nevertheless realistic.
Failure in marriage does not necessarily mean only the extreme step of
divorce. Often, failure is
a long-drawn, painful process or one, from which there seems no way out.
Conflicting demands of home and work, children, sexual
incompatibility, Alcoholism, extra marital affairs, lack of
interpersonal relations, lack of proper communication, lack of
trust, lack of understanding and problems of superiority or
inferiority complex are just a few of the various factors that affect a
marriage. Marital failure results in different consequences for different persons. Apart from personal unhappiness, trauma for children, the persons involved are unable to achieve their full potential in terms of education, career, sports and cultural activities. Too much time and effort goes into coping with compatibility or a breaking relationship. |

Pre-Marital Counseling |

Pre-marital counseling tackles concerns relating to the impending
marriage, clears up misconceptions about sex, talks about issues like
international relationship’s and family planning and in short, prepares
a person for marriage parents may, at times, be unaware of certain
conflicts and concerns that their children have with regard to marriage.
The generation gap is responsible for this.
This is where pre-marital counseling intervenes and bridge the gap. It has been established that those youngsters who have been
exposed to pre-marital counseling have better chances of coping
successfully with their marriage, than those who have not. |
