Marriage is the union of not only two individuals but coming together of their families and friends. Be it a arrange marriage or love marriage, there are number of things to consider in a relationship to make it successful.
Couple do talk about finances, children and their roles in a marriage but one subject that rarely receives much attention is sex. The concept of pre-marital sexual counselling is at developing stage and is not taken by society positively. The most important aspect of sexual counselling is effective communication resulting in sexual harmony.
Why one should go for pre-marital sexual counselling:
1)Misconception and fears: There are many myths regarding sex such as masturbation is wrong or sexual penetration is painful. Couples, especially women who will be engaging in sex for the first time should not feel scared about the activity.
2)Awareness: Often couples fail to communicate properly about their desires and fantasies surrounding sex. Therefore, talking in front of a sex counsellor may help a couple discuss everything ranging from sexual frequency to compatibility.
3)Pregnancy planning: It is important to know about ovulation and use of contraceptives to plan your pregnancy in a manner so that you are prepared physically, mentally, financially and emotionally.
4) Information about Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): A counsellor can help a couple to give information about STDs as well as proper use of condoms to avoid STDs.
If you are getting married, then you and your partner should go for pre marriage sexual counselling to create a solid foundation for your sacred union.
