{Relationships} Island getaway before saying ‘I do’
Many people are not so keen on pre-marital counseling, because ‘if it ain’t broke why fix it’ right? No! Spending some time and focused thought on your future, while supported by an expert can only be good for you and your future hubby.
The new trend is pre-marital couples retreats at a luxurious five-star resort, yes you heard right. Think of the drama obsessed couples in the movie Why did I get Married, who every year jet off to some exotic locale to reconnect and answer the question – why did I get married. Couple’s retreats are not just for the movies, you can have one too.
South African psychologist, author and life coach Kate Emmerson is one of the first local experts to specialise in island couple’s therapy, she hosts couples in five star resorts in Mauritius like Lux* Resorts. “Couples usually fail to have out their differences before they get married and do not talk (for example) about all their fears, expectations, assumptions, values, up bringing, culture and sex,” says Emmerson.
P.S. How great would it be to give this kind of couples’ retreat to friends or loved ones? This way you can almost guarantee that your favourite couple will have lasting power.
