Pre-marriage and Post-Marriage Counselling
Couples planning to get married, newlyweds or honeymoon couples can benefit from relationship skills that will ensure a successful marriage. A strong marriage
requires good relationship and communications skills. It also requires couples to have skills to manage inevitable conflict issues smoothly so that it is a win- win for everyone.
When couples are in love and feeling better than they ever had it is very easy to overlook issues that show signs of being problematic. While planning to get married no one wants to think about future problems or difficulties. However, a mature realization is to realize that love can go carry a couple so far and that the ability to have a successful marriage is dependent on a couples ability to manage their differences successfully.
Research shows that the global divorce rate by year 7 is 50%. For second marriages the divorce rate is 70%. It’s clear that people can benefit from learning more effective relationship skills to ensure a happy, long and successfully marriage.
Our pre-marriage and post marriage counselling will teach you how both people can get their needs met in a relationship. Unlike most classes that just show you were you are incompatible, our pre-marriage counselling teaches you effective skills to manage expectations, conflict and communication.

Infertility Couple Counselling
Counselling before starting infertility treatments has been found to be an effective measure against the ensuing stress and anxiety of treatments and can help protect and stabilize the marriage. In many countries it is mandatory part of infertility treatments.
For couples finding themselves engaging in infertility treatments and dealing with the realities of infertility, a common consequence is distress in the relationship or marriage. Infertility is a private matter and often a couple can only turn to each other. When a couple faces a disconnect in the urgency of the problem or in how each person communicates their concerns, unhappiness, isolations and disconnection can follow.
