Pre-nuptial Counselling
Pre-nuptial Counselling
Pre-nuptial coaching is useful for couples who are planning a life together who would like to make sure they understand how couple relationships work and how to get the best out of their relationship. It allows a couple to consider their preferred way of being together before they hit a crisis.
Things to explore:
- Children – do you both want children and how would they be brought up ?
- Conflict and how to manage this.
- Work priorities and responsibilities.
- Sex and what to do if problems arise.
- Finances , who will be responsible for what?
- Communication and managing misunderstandings.
- Household chores and responsibilities.
- Extended families and loyalties
- Religion if applicable
- Ideas about morality and standards.
Pre-nuptial counselling does not undermine romance or love but looks at the emotional and practical aspects of relationships. ideally a couple might consider such counselling before they start living together. At this time there is less pressure as to how they would like their relationship to be.
