Relationships take work.
Our experience of living with our families or group housing or sharing
with an intimate partner can be significantly challenged once the paper is
signed on the marriage certificate or mortgage.
By facing these concerns before they are met couples can ensure they are well prepared. The experience felt in early stages of any relationship (limmerance) rarely extend beyond the first year or so.
Couples moving to a more substantial relationship sometimes find they struggle to retain their independence while at the same time becoming a member of the new group... family dynamics change every time something is added or taken away.
In order to be loved or liked all of us do things to make the other person happy. Problems arise when we are not primarily making ourselves happy. Pre-marital (or pre-relationship) counselling helps people discover the real reasons why they want to be together.
Becoming aware, being mindful and being alert to issues allows early resolution and establishes a pattern that can last the entire relationship. Long lasting relationships often rely on openness between partners... this is a critical ingredient of a successful relationship.
