Pre-marriage Counselling Program: Before I say I DO
There is a saying that “Marriages are made in Heaven”. As beautiful and romantic as it sounds, reality is far from it. The reasons are many, but the most important fact is as follows.
Almost, all key activities that we get involved in life like a job requires an extended time of preparation to practice a discipline. An engineer takes about 5 to 8 years to learn how to carry out his job in his discipline and speciality. Similarly, a doctor takes about 5 to 10 years to be trained to serve humanity in the treatment of disease or sickness. But we all get married with no “prior” experience or training. All we have is an idea that we get from seeing our parents interact and what the movies depict. All these are partial and even corrupt in some cases. Imagine going to be an engineer who has to construct a bridge that is about 10 miles long over a large and deep river and all that you did was watch your dad do it and also you watched a video on bridge making on You Tube. Imagine further on the possibility that your dad also got the information on bridge building from your grandfather. You can now imagine how the bridge would look like and the remote possibility of getting to the other side in one piece and without getting wet. Would you compare your marriage to a bridge where we take one generation from childhood to adulthood, from immaturity to maturity?
We get into marriage mostly because our parent says so, or it is time to do so. Some find the right job and now needs to find the right woman. Some get into marriage for the excitement of experiencing sexual intimacy. Whatever the reason, most of us are in for a shock at what we turn up with or turn out to be eventually.
This is where we would like to help. We conduct one to one and group counselling for those planning to get married. These sessions are fun and activity based. The participants are brought to realize the real reasons for marriage, its values and ethics, and its challenges. We have seen several lives blessed by these sessions and living successful and effective marriages. This is arranged by appointment only.
Marriage Counselling: Marriage Garage
Here we are focussed on dealing with conducting one day workshops on marriage. We call in Marriage Garage. Here we focus on issues like expectations, parenthood, child rearing, in laws, love languages, physical, emotional, and spiritual intimacy, conflict management etc.
We also specialize in one to one or couple to couple counselling. Confidentiality is assured. These are long sessions where we try to get to the root cause and we have always discovered that the root cause is not the person but thought patterns and unmet expectations. Our experience, to a great extent comes from our own marriages, and from the lives of all those who we have counselled over the years. We are delighted that we could save several marriages and we know in doing so, we save our society. The fabric of our society is healthy families and if that fails, we stand to lose a lot in life. We enjoy what we do as we see wounds healed and lives restored. We assure you 100% confidentiality. This is arranged by appointment only.
