Marital Therapy

An inter-religion relationship can feel simple while you are dating. You respect each other’s beliefs, celebrate a festival together occasionally, and religion may not seem important enough to create a problem. Marriage can make those differences more practical. Whose festivals will you celebrate at home? Will one partner join the other’s prayers? What food is

After marriage, many couples hear things they never had to think about before. “In our family, the daughter-in-law always does this.” “Diwali has always been celebrated here.” “After marriage, you should wear this.” “You can’t skip this ritual.

After marriage, the same job may suddenly become a reason for arguments about timing, travel, housework, children or family duties. Sometimes the husband directly asks his wife to stop working. In other marriages, he says he supports her career but still

Frequent fights in marriage do not always mean

Your marriage may still be good. You support each other, manage money, meet family, have sex, plan holidays, and may not even fight that much. But something feels different.
