Couple Counselling is very important to couples (married / pre-marital / divorce) as it addresses the following marital concerns: It helps couples to take out time from their busy lives and focus on themselves which is needed make the relationship status stronger. It will help couples to analyse and know their which behaviour patterns affecting or leading to conflict. And it will help to know realistic picture of who the partner actually is instead of what the other wants the partner to be. It can settle misunderstandings and avoid miscommunications. This is much easier as couples find common goals and respect each other’s motivations and desires. Effective communication is one of the most important aspects for any couple, however it is not uncommon for couples to reach an impasse and lose their ability to share their feelings and needs with one another. So it will help you to reach out how to communicate with your partner. And it will help you to know your partner before marriage and try to increases the compatibility between the each other.

Generally, intimacy problems trigger the most where it’s difficult to show your affection when you feel emotionally distant from your partner or when you won’t physically ready for it and it’s difficult to feel emotionally attached without experiencing intimacy and affection. During these emotional conflicts if other partner had urge of intimacy in relationship it will lead to aggression, dissatisfaction, and no emotional bonding with each other.

• Value Differences

When a couple has value differences, such as religious/caste preferences, that can cause serious problems. They may have major disagreements about what religion/caste to teach their children.

If a couple can’t learn to adjust to different values, they may have to face serious problems in their marriage.

• Different Life Stages Depending on Age Gap
