Pre-Marital Counselling Services in Kenya

Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with slow internet to see who they really are.

Will Ferrell

There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion, or company than a good marriage.

Martin Luther

If all you’ve thought about is the wedding and not the marriage, then you might need to think again.

Renae Willis

Getting married is the boldest and most idealistic thing that most of us will ever do.

Maggie Gallagher

 

Most marital arguments cannot be resolved. Couples spend year after year trying to change each other’s minds, but it can’t be done. This is because most of their disagreements are rooted in fundamental differences of lifestyle, personality, or values. By fighting over these differences, all they succeed in doing is wasting their time and harming their marriage.

John Gottman

Make dedicated, non-negotiable time for each other a priority, and never stop being curious about your partner. Don’t assume you know who they are today, just because you went to bed with them the night before. In short, never stop asking questions. But ask the right kind of questions.

John Gottman

  • Are you in a stable relationship and are planning to escalate it to the next level?
  • Are you wondering what marriage is all about, and you would like to learn before getting into it?
  • Are you pretending to be happy and excited about the relationship, but deep down, you are questioning the difference in opinion, perspective, experience, etc.?
  • Are you planning to invest heavily in a glamorous wedding, oblivious to the investment in the marriage?
  • Have you discussed the unrealistic expectations you are bringing to the marriage?
  • Have you questioned each other’s culture, religion, career, values, behaviors, traits, etc, that stand out now as triggers to conflict and tension?
  • If any of these questions resonate with you, it is important to seek pre-marital therapy before marriage.
