Although not as well known as the marital counselling, the premarital counselling is equally important for those couples determined to crown their relationship with marriage.
In every relationship there is a space for improvement and learning some constructive patterns of behaviour – this is important for the future life together.
If all expected developmental phases of a relationship and all the challenges of each phase are learnt on time, as well as how the stability of the relationship can be affected, it is going to be much easier to overcome these challenges and develop some good adaptation mechanisms.
During the premarital counselling it is possible to learn how to communicate one’s feelings, needs and dilemmas to the partner and also resolve conflicts constructively and determine mutual and individual goals.
Counselling enables recognition of the segments of the relationship in which some compromises are possible but also to recognise when they would not contribute to the quality of the relationship.
A good partnership in a relationship includes togetherness and the right to preserve one’s individuality while respecting all the differences.
