- Abstract
This paper highlights the importance of pre-marital counselling for successful marriage by presenting a real life case. Pre-marital counselling is a form of training imparted to the aspirants of marital life to enable them to have a sound and steady married life. Individuals who go through the process of pre-marital counselling are expected to acquire the coping capacity in facing difficult situations in their marriage. The case presented in the paper is that of Jane, whose parents had a relationship of marital conflict from the beginning. On account of her exposure to such parental issues and fights from her childhood, she experienced anxieties and fears of marriage, when the marriage proposal was placed before her. She went for pre-marital counselling which helped her free herself from her misconceptions and anxieties about marriage. When she was contacted in the follow-up exercise, she acknowledged that pre-marital counselling did have a positive role in her successful married life.
