Turkish
It refers to professional psychological counseling support given to couples who are in the process of marriage, flirting, verbally or engaged. Premarital counseling, as the name suggests, is a marriage-focused psychological support. Its main purpose is to prepare couples (or individuals) for marriage psychologically.
It is the foundation and core of society. It is a hearth where healthy generations are raised, an institution where an environment of love, respect, loyalty and trust is established, and an institution formed by individuals with mutual rights and duties.
Healthy generations grow in this nest. It is an undeniable fact that the family, which is a center of peace for spouses, sharing, education, love and compassion for children, is extremely important.
Marriage is a contract between spouses that allows for cohabitation and mutual assistance and imposes mutual rights and duties on the parties. It reproduces and preserves the generation. The more solid and healthy foundations the family rests on in a community, the more robust and healthy the society consisting of that family will be.
In healthy families, members are satisfied with family communication; conflict is low, they adapt easily and successfully to developmental changes, they can cope with stressful events. These families are called “healthy family”, “well-functioning family” or “optimal family”. However, it would not be correct to say that families will never face problems. These families can recover quickly in the face of a crisis. There are few problems in the family system and they function under all normal conditions.
The Characteristics of a Healthy Family are:
Healthy family members communicate with each other openly, complementary and appropriately.
Family members trust each other, are honest and sincere,
Rights and duties in the family are distributed in a way that all family members accept,
