How Couples in India Navigate Modern Relationship Challenges

There is this quote that goes like, “All relationships go through hell. But only real ones get through them. Together.”

 

If you are in a relationship, you would know problems are natural, some might even say they are necessary. Because only hard times show you how much happiness you will be able to make together. But a sad fact is that nowadays we see more messy breakups, and divorces than successful relationships and marriages. Some give up too early, too fast. While some never do. 

 

That is why relationship counselling can be a huge solution for the modern world. Even though some may think a relationship shouldn't involve a stranger third-person even if they are a professional there to help you, a lot can be done through Relationship Counselling in India.
