Marriage Counseling a Must for Couples

Marriages in India are breaking up at an alarming rate and this is worrying everyone from parents to couples alike. The change in psyche on divorce has made it a casual affair as people are now seen flaunting their divorcee status.

Lifestyle problems, low tolerance levels, lack of communication, shortage of quality time, work frustration, etc. are some of the major problems that lead to breakup in a marriage. The trend is just the same in both arranged and love marriages as these problems can prevail between any two individuals living together.

An alarming 40 percent of the marriages, especially in metros are heading for breakups. This whopping figure makes it extremely important for couples to go through marriage counseling before tying the blissful knot. Though more number of couples have been coming forward to the idea of counseling, it is still not sufficient.

Marriage Counseling counsels the relationship of two people by putting in an effort to recognize and to manage better the possible troublesome differences between them. Couple therapy or marital therapy is based on core principles crucial to a marriage like respect, empathy, consent, accountability, trust, compatibility, love, care and others. Today’s intricate life of uncertainties and fluctuations make it difficult to remain stress-free and compromise with situations.

The tendency to overreact and restlessness is growing these days to lack of patience and fleeting speed of life. Everyone is looking for success and quick fun in a short period of time while the value and importance attached to relationships reduce continuously. In today’s world, one needs to take help from outside to maintain a relationship be it of any kind. But, we need to take out time from the hectic life; sit and relax and think about how we can keep our relationships steady and successful.
