couples
These days when a relationship becomes too difficult, many people
just walk away from it. A lasting relationship is also based upon mutual
respect and good communication skills and with these, many problems
can be overcome. Couple counselling (previously known as marriage guidance)
is suitable for all relationships, including;
* De-facto
* Married |
* Parental / child
* Same sex |
Often couples don't seek counselling until the problems appear to
be insurmountable and at least one partner has built up such a degree
of resentment against the other, that reconciliation is very difficult.
By seeking help at an early stage of conflict, through professional
mediation and counselling, this can often be avoided. |
'Couple or marital counselling can be of assistance in many problem
areas, including;
- Intimacy
- Communication
- Differences in religious or racial backgrounds
- Role identification
- Pressure from work or family
- Conflict over life and family goals
Precommitment or marriage preparation is also an area where many
potential problems may be averted, by clarification and improved communication
through counselling, before marriage / commitment takes place.
