How counseling helped
She contacted our institute- Sambandhah on Google. After feeling connected with the counselor, she opened up and narrated every single incident of her life, vented out all her heart and felt relaxed. Thereafter, on seeking advice about the person with whom she decided to enter into a second marriage who was a widower with a boy child, the counselor took around four to five sessions to make her mind settled for the same with all the precautionary measures to be taken in the second marriage. Thereafter, a session was also organized for the would-be husband and made both of them understand about the do’s and don’ts in the marriage, once they enter into it. The counselor has also advised about parenting as they have total two children who will stay together after their decision to marry.
