Why would we need relationship counselling?
Relationship counselling is not about ‘fixing something when its broken’, although this is a common myth.
Relationship counselling is about building a sustainable marriage, a marriage that is built on strong foundations. Topics that are covered in relationship counselling may include:
· Personality differences
· Conflict management
· Family backgrounds
· Attitudes to parenting and money (making sure both parties are on the same page
· Sexuality
· Communication and listening skills
· Life style expectations (where will we live, how will we live, where will we holiday)
