Abstract
Do not wait until a problem to seek marriage counseling. Counseling can help newlyweds with their communication skills, sexual relationship, and much more.
Most people enter the marriage life with unrealistic expectations of a dream life influenced by some popular songs and movies. But soon their dreams are shattered and their married life gets ruined before it takes off.
Ideally, couples should seek premarital counseling before getting married. However, some married couples wait until they have problems, in that case they should seek ‘marriage counseling for newly weds’. They can also seek such counseling, even if they have no issues, to make the marriage life better.

The therapy which is considered best for married couples is cognitive behavior therapy. It focuses on the influence of thoughts on the behavior of a person. It is one of the common forms of therapy used in individuals as well as couples.
One of the best pieces of advice for newly married couples is to communicate. Communication is the key to success in every relationship. It can resolve the differences formed or misunderstandings between couples.
Marriage counseling focuses on breaking the differences between couples. It helps to understand each other better in terms of relationships. It is the best option practiced to reconsider the marriage.
Just after two months of marriage, couple therapy is considered too soon. If the differences start within one month of marriage, then it is considered a matter to worry about. The therapy should be performed when required or if it becomes mandatory to consult to avoid complications.
The couple who thinks that things are going out of control or are not able to manage the relationship often chooses to go weekly or even twice a week for therapy. It all depends upon the level of differences and compatibility between couples. The couple can choose to go anytime when they feel there are no chances to develop compatibility.
The first year of marriage is considered hard as both couples have to compromise their needs and time accordingly. The discovery of intimacy can be hard as well as joyous and may take time. It takes almost one year to learn to express thoughts and feelings. It always takes time to understand each other and each other's environment.
The hardest part of marriage is compromise. It involves compromising needs, time, and places. The girl has to leave her father and mother, which is the hardest thing for a person who has lived with her family all her life and now has to adapt to new people in life.
The major cause of divorce is usually miscommunication. Presuming and assuming are usually associated with this issue. Financial burdens or family issues, when not discussed, lead to separation and divorce.
Miscommunication, lack of intimacy, trust, and disrespect are the signs associated with failing marriages. Failing marriage can only be saved by adjusting and compromising. Lack of communication is the biggest sign of a failing marriage.
The signs of an unhappy husband are a lack of interest in communicating and staying with his wife. An unhappy husband may focus on his professional life more than his personal life. He will not be interested in spending with his wife.
An unhappy marriage is a relationship in which one or both partners do not feel attached. Instead of a married couple, they often feel more like roommates. Being in an unhappy marriage often breeds resentment, hopelessness, and isolation.
According to research, men suffer more in divorce than women. Men usually have a difficult time after a split in a relationship. The suffering after divorce can last even after two years. In addition, females feel more liberated than their male counterparts after a divorce.
The common problems faced by married couples are communication issues, lack of sexual intimacy, value differences, and ignoring boundaries. The fight over money also constitutes one of the common problems faced by couples.
The average age at which the couple undergoes divorce is usually 30 years old. Although divorce can occur at any age. The only way to save a marriage is to understand and communicate. However, the divorce rate has doubled for people over 50 years.
According to some surveys, 20 % of second marriages do not lead to divorce. Second marriage can be successful as people learn not to repeat past mistakes. The success of second marriage also depends upon mutual understanding and compatibility.
