Need of the hour: Pre marriage Counselling & Enrichment program: Vivaha!

🌸 Introduction – Before the Wedding Bells Ring, Prepare for the Music of Marriage

They looked perfect together. Smiling in every pre-wedding photo, their Instagram was full of #CoupleGoals. But behind those filters was confusion. She wanted more emotional connection; he wanted space after work. She felt unheard, he felt misunderstood. They loved each other deeply, yet were unsure about how to live together peacefully.

This is not an isolated story—it’s the silent truth of many Indian couples today.

In my 35 years of clinical and counselling experience, I have seen marriages blossom beautifully—and others crumble—based not on love, but on lack of preparedness. That’s why I created VIVAHA: The Pre-Marriage Counselling and Enrichment Program—a one-to-one, confidential, scientific, yet soulful program designed to help couples understand each other before stepping into a lifetime together.

💍 The Changing Face of Indian Marriages

Marriages in India have evolved faster than we realize. Once governed by family traditions, now they’re shaped by freedom, careers, equality, and social media. Yet, emotional maturity has not kept pace.

Modern couples juggle dual incomes, long commutes, in-laws, expectations, and stress—all without learning the art of relationship navigation.

That’s why pre-marriage counselling in Mumbai, and across India, has become not just relevant, but essential.

💸 The Big Fat Indian Wedding vs. The Big Peaceful Indian Marriage

We spend lakhs and crores on a single wedding day—venue, decoration, catering, jewellery, designer clothes, invitations, photography, and return gifts. Yet, how much do we invest in preparing for the marriage itself?

All that glamour lasts for one day (or one night), while the marriage must last a lifetime. We plan for the food, music, and outfits—but forget to prepare for the communication, compatibility, and commitment that will define every day that follows.

A truly successful wedding is not measured by how grand the reception was, but by how peaceful and joyful the mornings after the wedding continue to be. VIVAHA bridges that missing preparation gap—turning wedding excitement into marital enlightenment.

⚠️ Ten Common Marital Struggles Without Pre-Marriage Counselling

  1. Emotional mismatch despite strong love.

  2. Unrealistic sexual expectations.

  3. Money disagreements causing hidden resentment.

  4. Struggle between personal freedom and family bonding.

  5. Communication turning into confrontation.

  6. Emotional isolation despite physical closeness.

  7. Interference from in-laws creating silent tension.

  8. Stress and work fatigue replacing affection.

  9. Social-media comparisons breeding insecurity.

  10. Lack of empathy leading to long-term emotional drift.

Real-life glimpse:
A young couple once came to me six months after marriage. They hadn’t spoken for days—not out of anger, but exhaustion. After a few sessions of VIVAHA Counselling, they learned emotional literacy, active listening, and the language of empathy. Today, they thrive together.

Seeds of care, trust, and talk must harden.

The roots of love that help you grow.” 🌷

🌻 Why Pre-Marriage Counselling is Not Optional Anymore

We do medical check-ups before joining a gym, but we ignore heart-check-ups before marriage. Ironically, it’s the heart that sustains the relationship!

“Marriage isn’t about finding the right person—it’s about preparing to be the right partner.”

Pre-marriage counselling like VIVAHA is not a sign of weakness—it’s a mark of wisdom.
