Why is premarital counseling important for healthy married life

I’m sure you have given thought to the fact that so many marriages are ending in divorce or live in dissatisfaction with their relationship? One of the main reasons for this is not being prepared for the life that follows marriage.  It’s like going mountain climbing with no rope, barefoot, and in your swimsuit.  You’re not properly prepared!  And the things that you not prepared for, the unexpected events of everyday married life, hit you right between the eyes and you just can’t figure out what to do.   So you punt and say, “we’re not compatible” or “I’m not happy anymore”.  Marriage takes work, commitment and preparation. 
Premarital counseling is absolutely essential to get you prepared for what married life brings.  You will both learn and develop the necessary skills to deal those “difficult issues”. A strong, healthy relationship is possible.  Everyone wants a satisfying and stable marriage, but not everyone prepares properly and is ready for the ups and downs in a relationship. Don’t delay.  Learn what it takes to tackle the tough problems that are certain to come up.  Listed below are several benefits of Premarital Counseling.
Benefits of Premarital Counseling    
•    Identifies the strengths in their relationship and helps strengthen them even further. Also identifies areas needing growth and how to make them stronger.
•    In the early stages of the married life there are small issues that don’t seem very significant. But small problems tend to grow into big issues that can cause division.  Premarital counseling helps the couple identify potential weak areas in the relationship and how to deal with “small” problems before they become serious.
•    Most importantly it helps one to identify how their behavior affects their partner.  You will be able to see how even minor changes can make a significant impact on being the perfect partner for your spouse.
