pre marital counseling

there is considerable increase in divorce cases in ur country.


there are various reasons attributing to this like,higher education, employment and income status,more freedom and modern nuclear family system.

youngsters getting married with great expectation suddenly finds after marriage that all or some of those expectations are not fullfilled, and in turn they are dissatisfied and an easy remedy of divorce comes to their mind.


divorce cases are being filed for many flimsy reasons.


what could be a remedy for this?

well,  a premarital counselling can help in reducing such future divorce possibilities to a great extent.

before marriage is formally fixed,the concerned jodies to be taken to a psychologist,so that they are made aware of some of the minimum requirements of family life,s*x,expectations of both partners etc.

Unfortunately,in majority of cases of marriage,everything is matched like,finance,educatation,employment status,caste etc etc except whether the new would be are mentally matching.

And for this essential mental matching,premarital counselling would be of great help.

yes your are right, but in indian society pre marital councilling is some time possible and some time not because of elders.  In traditional houses pre matiral couincilling is not possible.  It takes time.  Any way India is globlizing, your suggestion would come in to act at any tme.

Dear Mr.Mahendrakumar,

Kudos for being such thoughtful and proactive on a subject of great public importance.  I sincerely appreciate your thought and would like  to add that it is the society we live in which is responsible for inculcating a value based life.  Now on account of communication revolution, role of audio video print media, the fast pace life and short sightedness and lack of ethics, moral and traditional values there happens to be a deterioration of consideration of cohesive social values - meaning we want everything but are not willing to devote our time and resources for other's welfare and well being.   Matrimony as well is not only a personal issue is also a social obligation as well. 

Once again I sincerely appreciate your indulgence in this contemporary relevant issue where so much is at stake.

Best Regards

Daksh

It is really a good concept but in indian middle class society it may take 20-30 years to accept the facts. but in near future people will understand its importance.

Pre-marital counseling would be difficult thing in practicality at present especially in our society even though both proposed wedding couple  are educated and self sufficient in earnings.

It is the duty of parents -  both boys and girls  to educate them before marriage - value systems - family bondage - tolerance - create a better understanding - ready to accept mistakes - forget and forgive - and their commitments to their children in future.  In short - what ever happens between the two should be settled within 4 walls and not to be communicated to their parents as the parents may over react in the interest of thier boy / girl can lead to chain of reactions.

Also it would  be of use and help for both of them to discuss the importance of the institution of marriage and its value to them and their offsprings in details before concurring to become a man and wife.
