communication and their understanding of what sex means to them. Sex may have become mechanical and a way to maintain a safe distance for one person. In such cases, the partner may mourn the lack of intimacy and trust which would allow them to feel safe and enjoy sex. Withdrawal of sex can happen when a person has no alternative way to express their anger and disappointment – so the forbidden feelings are acted out in the bedroom. These are just some of the issues that may be addressed in relationship counselling to help couples become more aware of each other's needs and desires and thus be able to reach a solution that works best for both of them. Pre Marital Counselling Pre-marital counseling is helpful for many couples who want an overview of challenges that face them once they marry. They want to establish the best possible relationship patterns to serve them for years to come. Other couples have specific issues they are stuck on, and they would like to examine and move ahead on these issues before they marry. Many couples enjoy the opportunity to uncover the many expectations, spoken and unspoken, they have about each other in preparation for marriage. Post Marital Counselling Marriage counseling, also called couples therapy, is a type of psychotherapy. Marriage counseling helps couples of all types recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. Through marriage counseling, you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding your relationship or going your separate ways.
