Pre-marital counselling is highly recommended – yet in the UK, many couples only seek professional help when their relationship is already under serious strain. By that point, problems have often been building for months or even years.
Pre-marital counselling – or pre-living together therapy – offers a positive, proactive way to prepare for married life or cohabiting. It gives you both the space to talk things through openly, with the guidance of a professional relationship counsellor.
Most importantly, your counsellor is not emotionally involved. This helps you both stay focused, identify areas that could become challenging in the future, and build a stronger foundation. It’s also a great way to raise awareness of common relationship pitfalls – before they become bigger issues.
