Counseling for marriage can begin before the official marriage. Pre-marital counseling is often recommended for engaged couples to help them sort out any major differences prior to making a huge commitment. Problems and issues that arise during marriage often lead to the need for more counseling. This doesn’t mean that either partner is abnormal, just that they are two imperfect humans trying to learn how to deal with each other. Marriage problems inevitably affect the whole landscape of the family. It is common for couples with serious or long-term marriage problems to feel a need to include their children, as the tension between the marriage partners tends to create tension in all the family relationships. That is where marriage and family counseling comes in.
