Marriage Counselling
MARRIAGE COUNSELLING
Less than 200 years ago, marriage was an institution designed to offer stability. And, if one was lucky, some companionship. But the modern marriage carries the bane of larger than life expectations. We expect our spouse to be our lover, best friend, confidante and financial partner. Sometimes, they must guide us as parents and at other times, they need to obey us as children.
It’s unrealistic to expect any relationship to carry so much burden. The fact that two unique individuals come together and attempt a shared journey that lasts decades is itself miraculous. The awesomeness of the miracle, however, gets lost as unresolved and chronic conflicts seep into the relationship.
Our in-house experts have studied the modern marriage deeply and approach the needs of any couple without judgment of what will work.
