No spouse is ever 100% prepared for marriage, clearly there will be unique experiences within the marriage.

However, marital therapist through research and specific training in this area have significant knowledge of the areas and skills that couples need to feel more prepared for marriage.

Some of the skills that couples may be equiped with in premarital counselling include communication skills, conflict resolution, negotiation skills etc.

On marriage, boundaries & premarital counselling

The important task for the married couple is the creation of clear boundaries, establishing rules and roles to protect their marriage from external influences (e.g., children, in-laws).

You might wonder why the couple would need to protect their marriage from children. It is possible for parents to be too involved in their parenting role, forgetting to be present for each other. Spouses never checking up on each other, but every time spent together aimed at only discussing matters relating to children.

Why would the couples need to have boundaries to protect their marriage from in-laws? It may look obvious, but it’s not. How much of the parents involvement in the couple’s life is healthy?

These examples may help

• It is not uncommon to find a husband complaining that there is nothing that he confides in his wife that the mother-inlaw does not know.
• Or a wife complaining that her husband gets advice or decides about what happens in the marriage with his mother or family of origin.
• A wife complaining that the husband never discusses his finances with her but discusses them with his mother. The list goes on.

Couples having boundaries to protect their marriage is essential to the health of the family. Conflict and problems within the marriage or between the couple have a ripple effect into the rest of the other family members, especially children.
The couple relationship is important to the family system as a model for the children on adult intimate relationships.

Sometimes we believe everything our mind tells us. Not everything you think is true. This is important to understand since thoughts affect feelings and behaviour.

Feelings fed from incorrect thoughts can also be irrational. For example, people who believe negative things about themselves are likely to also experience negative feelings towards themselves.

If you constantly experiencing negative emotions, then check your thoughts, they might be sabotaging you.

More than taking care of our mental health, it needs to be strengthened. Life is full of challenges, and the function of our mental health is to have the capacity to work through those challenges.

If we are mentally healthy, it means we have the tools, and we are fit to cope with life’s challenges, the same way that those who are physically healthy have the stamina to endure physical strain.

Therapy is a space where it is safe to explore our fears, wishes and internal conflicts without the pressure to confirm to expectations.

In therapy we aim to explore and pursue our ideal self.

Parenting adult children vs young children

Your responsibility as a parent to a young child is not the same as your responsibility to your adult children.

As the family develops so is your role as a parent.

The role of parents changes through the developmental stages of the family life cycle
