As our world evolves with technology, more couples are gravitating towards online premarital counseling as an accessible, effective way to prepare for marriage (Stewart et al., 2020). This modern approach to counseling is not only convenient but can also help couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and set realistic expectations for marriage. However, how do you determine if online premarital counseling is right for you? First, it’s crucial to understand that premarital counseling is not a sign of weak relationships or a premonition of future issues. On the contrary, engaging in premarital counseling is an indicator of a healthy relationship. Studies show that couples who participate in premarital counseling are 31% less likely to divorce (Rhoades & Stanley, 2014). One of the telltale signs that you might need premarital counseling is recurring unresolved disputes. According to a study by Johnson et al. (2019), communication problems are among the most common causes of dissatisfaction in marriages. If you find yourselves frequently arguing over the same issues, this could be an indicator that it’s time to seek external help.
