Premarital Counseling and Therapy

John B. Marine | January 16, 2019 | | |
(UPDATED: January 21, 2019)

Before getting married, you may want some counseling. Yes- it is great for you to marry someone you truly love. However, are you prepared for all the costs and issues in getting married and in staying together? For most couples, they don't care about these things. Most couples just want to be together and be intimate with each other and grow old with each other. Just like anything, though, you have to weigh various factors to be together and stay together. I will try to shed light on the issue of premarital counseling with this blog post. Maybe this will help you or somebody else who may be involved in this matter.

Premarital Counseling and Therapy


premarital counseling or pre-marital counseling
^ from: (YouTube) - Marriage involves more than just saying, "I Do." Premarital counseling can help ensure you are fully ready for marriage and life as a married couple.

Before tying the knot (or whatever expression means "getting married" to you), it is best you get some premarital counseling. Marriage, like parenthood, is a life-long process that shouldn't be taken lightly or should be lightly regarded. You may potentially be with your future significant other for the rest of your life. So you do not want to take something like marriage less serious than what it really is and what it really means.

Getting married means more than romantic involvement. You have to weigh in factors regarding other family members, financing being together, and things of that nature. Having a healthy love for one another is always a good thing. However, to avoid a messy marital future, you will need to plan ahead for all of the factors that may test your marital bond. Think of premarital counseling as like having a party planner for a party. In this analogy, having a party planner ensures you can put together the dream party that you want to throw by handling the visual details and the financial details. Premarital counseling helps ensure you will be properly prepared for marriage.

Additionally, premarital counseling can be helpful if you are engaged but having certain issues with your fiancé/fiancée. There is a possibility you may want to call off the marriage if you suspect your fiancé/fiancée is cheating or if your relationship may potentially be damaged beyond repair. You certainly can do no wrong if you meet with a therapist for premarital counseling and if you still want to marry your engaged partner.

There are plenty of reasons to consider premarital counseling. Marriage is too complex and deep to be taken so lightly and disregard all possible aspects of marriage. It helps to have a professional help prepare you for marriage rather than think you know everything and end up not having as happy a marriage as you can have.


Do You NEED Premarital Counseling?

Well... it wouldn't hurt. Getting premarital counseling is more like getting a briefing before engaging in some mission. Do you go into a battle or a war by not getting the specifics of any given situation? If you do not get a general idea of what you are getting yourself into, you are bound to fail, unless you somehow know everything beforehand. Make sure you are prepared for life as a married individual. In that case, you would be best served to have premarital counseling. At least give it a chance so you can make all or most of the primary concerns a bit easier to manage. Better safe than sorry.


Premarital Counseling Therapy.

Having premarital counseling will help you to make smart decisions and be better prepared for marriage. A healthy marriage involves more than just having a loving bond with someone. Think about all the different things that being married may involve. For example:

• Where will you live?
• Are you physically and financially able to have children?
• Who legally owns any number of things?

Having as much professional insight and advice in premarital matters can mean a lot to having a successful and healthy marriage. So make sure to take advantage of having premarital counseling for the best experience of marriage.


Get ready for some final thoughts of mine about premarital counseling.




Premarital Counseling and Therapy: Final Thoughts


Premarital counseling helps soon-to-be-married couples start strong and limits early troubles in young married relationships. You are not a failure because you don't know (or think you know) all there is to being married outside of having healthy love for one another. A therapist who helps in premarital counseling will help you either get ready in all aspects for being married, or a therapist can help save engaged partners who may be having a damaged relationship before getting married or may have a wedding be canceled. Having professional help prior to marriage (or if you go ahead with the marriage) can help make marriage wonderful. It has been a worthy investment for you to engage in marriage; why not also make an investment to ensure your marriage will be successful? Even if you think you are ready to be married and know all the nuances of getting and being married, it is recommended you check with a therapist for premarital counseling just to make sure you will have a happy and enjoyable marriage.


Resources.

As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, marriage is a great investment. So equally, why not make an investment to ensure a happy and productive marriage? It costs money to get with and set up appointments with therapists. While there is a significant price on meeting with a therapist, there are other great costs to consider. To make the best best decisions on choosing a therapist to meet with in regards to premarital counseling, I have prepared the following resource for you which explains all I have explained in this blog post and then some other issues:

Congratulations if you are going to get married soon! Hopefully this post will help you towards good decisions and solutions for having a happy and healthy marriage.
