Premarital counselling aims to improve couples’ relationships and aids them to build a strong foundation for taking vows. The process requires the full participation of both the partners in order to discuss some major issues, which have been mentioned below:

1. Finances: Couples must be transparent regarding their lifestyle and spending habits. They should not keep secrets about salaries, and debt. They must clear all the issues like who will handle the household expenses, and who will be the saver.
2. Children: This issue is meant to be discussed early before marriage. It is important to make sure that both the partners agree on certain decisions. If they want children then when and how many and if one of them denies to take the responsibility then others should respect the decision of their partner. Couples do not hesitate to talk about if their partner experience infertility, birth defects, miscarriages, unplanned pregnancies or want other options such as fostering or adopting.
3. Environment: Settling down in another environment is always not easy, as couples may not have lived together before. Couples need to discuss whether their partners agree to live with them in that present location or if they want to move to another city or new apartment or house.
4. Extended family and support: Marrying your partner is to marry their family. Therefore, it is important that both the families get involved in the process of marriage. Since a couple takes vows, they become the architects of their family. Both the partners are advised about their married life by their respective families that actually help in avoiding irrelevant arguments.
5. Religion: Both the partners may have individual differences such as different religions. It always goes tricky and creates a mess between both of them. They both are pre-determined to accept each other’s religion and beliefs. It should be discussed as well what religious knowledge and education would be given to the kids.
6. Resolving conflicts productively: Couples may experience conflicts in their married life but handling them is also an important part, played by the couples. Counselling prepares you in the productive manner to face such conflicts that may create hindrances in order to spoil your happy-married life.
7. Relationship expectations: Sometimes, couples are not satisfied with their relationship as they feel that their partners’ expectations and perceptions are entirely different from theirs. This affects their relationship badly. Premarital counselling provides the opportunity to all couples to know what do their partners expect and how do they perceive the things, and what do they want from their partners? Couples are able to get all the answers by following just one thing before they marry and that is premarital counselling.
