Premarital Counselling in Townsville

Are You and Your Partner Prepared for Marriage?

All marriages begin with a strong desire to make the relationship successful. However, 40-50% end in divorce in the first seven years because they are not prepared with the tools that it takes to make a relationship work. Without these tools, we are not prepared to handle conflicts and struggles that may surface later in the relationship that hasn't been there earlier on.

Most couples experience some struggle adjusting to each other's differences in personality or Family of origin dynamics or dealing with in-laws’ expectations and interfering behaviours. Many couples may already be struggling to communicate their needs and expectations to their partner.

Does It Seem Like You Are Repeating the Same Arguments Without Finding Any Solutions?

Most of us have not been taught important communication and relationship skills. Moreover, some couples have not really talked about the logistics of managing money, raising children and long-term goals. And have just entered a pattern of doing things or a negative cycle of behaviour, which will often lead to unhappiness, discontent and the relationship ending.

Sometimes one or both individuals may be entering marriage for the second time, and they may have children from the previous relationship; not knowing how to manage this can be overwhelming and create worry and anxiety that ultimately may cause stress and unhappiness in your new relationship, and possibly even lead to ending the marriage,

Seeking help will allow you to identify and change any potentially negative behaviours and ensure you have the right tools and communication skills moving forward, taking you both towards a happy, successful and rewarding relationship and Family into the future.
