“And they all lived happily ever after”…….. if only it
was just that simple.
No wonder they use this line in
fairy tales because that is exactly what it is.
We all want to grow up fast and dream of getting
married, it is every girl’s wish; the pomp and ceremony
that goes with organising a wedding, buying that dress
is one of the most exciting times of our lives, walking
down the aisle, saying for better or worse, richer or
poorer, does it all really sink in on the perfect day.
The old saying the honeymoon is
over is so true.
To be married in this day and age can be hard
work, throw a couple of kids into the equation and for
some couples it can all turn pear shaped really quickly.
I don’t think people realise the work and effort
that goes in to having a happy marriage and a stable
family life.
It is really something that a husband and wife must work
at day by day.
If a marriage does begin to break down where do
you turn.
Communication is one of the most
important aspects to focus on to get you both through
and counselling, as daunting as it may seem in the lead
up to your wedding day may be just the thing to pull you
both through.
There are no manuals out there when you get
married or start a family to follow step by step.
It can be an unknown world and sometimes a little
bit of guidance, as hard as it may be to ask, can be
just what is needed.
Counsellors are there as someone
that is neutral to both parties to listen to, bounce
things off and help both partners come to a fair
agreement about issues in regards to their relationship
as a couple, as parents, as friends and everything that
goes with running a happy house and family from day to
day.
There is no favouritism with
counsellors.
They are there to assess what each party has to say and
get back to the basics of the problems.
Sometimes things build up and up to blowing point
and often the couple can not even focus on what is the
main problem anymore.
To be able to sit down with someone
and discuss exactly what is on your mind, be honest and
this will give the counsellor insight as to what may be
the stem of the problem and get you both back to basics
in order to start working on ways to fix the problem. I
have listed some contacts for help in times of crisis:-

We all want happiness, have a happy
household, have happy children and most importantly be
happy within ourselves.
With the world the way it is today some days are
just too hard and just too fast.
We all need to realise whats important in life
and how to look after the most important people around
us…. Our family.

Communicate, always try and keep the lines of communication open.
Marriage is easy, it is the living together afterwards
that requires a mature and responsible attitude.
Til next time,
