Pre-marital counseling Long Island, a form of couples’ therapy before getting married.
One of the most important choices a person makes in their life is choosing who to marry. This is because they’re choosing to live with their spouse in the same home and commit themselves to them, ideally for the rest of their life.
In today’s day and age, more and more couples are opting for pre-marital counseling so that they can ensure they and their future spouse are on the same page when it comes to what they expect from their marriage.
Also, it is easier for couples to talk about difficult issues in a safe environment where they are guided by a professional, as it helps them look at each other in a new light, with a new perspective.
For couples who have concerns about their upcoming marriage, or want to increase their compatibility, pre-marital counseling with Chana Pfeifer can be a very rewarding experience.
What issues do you talk about?
Getting married is a big decision, and pre-marital counseling can help partners get to know each other even better. Subjects such as finances, children and sexual relations can be areas where partners have differing views, and talking about them beforehand can help avoid major conflicts later on.
A good marriage counselor helps both parties improve their conflict resolution skills so that if the couple has any fights down the road, which is highly likely, they can sensibly know how to resolve them.
For couples who are looking for a good pre-marital counselor, Chana Pfeifer, based in the Long Island area, is one of the best in the profession and can help you deal with any concerns you may have.
How can it help me?
Pre-marital counseling can help partners talk about any concerns they may have about the marriage with each other so that they can resolve them before the actual wedding. It can also act as a method through which partners can talk about any old resentments or release the pent up aggression they may have. This way, both parties enter the marriage with a clean slate and old problems do not come back to haunt them.
Does it really work?
According to the results of a survey that were published in a notable psychology journal, couples who have some experience of pre-marital counseling or education have greater satisfaction with their marriage and have a 30% lower rate of divorce in the first five years. The reason for this is that when couples enter the marriage after prior training, they know what to expect, how to deal with their problems and their partner’s way of thinking, all of which contribute to a healthier relationship with fewer problems.
