Counsellor Dr Robert Mensah has stressed the importance of marriage counselling, urging couples to seek professional guidance not only before marriage but throughout their marital journey.
Speaking on Ahotor Mmre with Obaapa Janee during a discussion on whether maintaining a friendship with an ex-lover is beneficial or harmful to a current relationship, Dr Mensah highlighted the need for couples to understand each other’s differences and seek professional support when challenges arise.
According to him, marriage brings together two individuals with different backgrounds, ideas, beliefs and expectations, making counselling an important tool for navigating disagreements and strengthening their relationship.
He explained that couples should have a trusted professional counsellor who can guide them through difficult moments and help them find constructive ways to resolve conflicts.
Dr Mensah emphasised that counselling should not be considered necessary only when couples are preparing to marry or when their relationship is already experiencing serious problems.
Instead, he encouraged couples to make it an ongoing part of their marriage.
The discussion also explored the sensitive issue of maintaining friendships with former romantic partners, a subject that can generate disagreements among couples.
While some people consider friendship with an ex a sign of maturity and emotional stability, others believe it can create trust issues, jealousy and unnecessary tension in a marriage.
The counsellor’s remarks highlighted the importance of communication, mutual understanding and professional guidance in helping couples navigate such sensitive relationship matters.
His contribution on Ahotor Mmre reinforced the view that a successful marriage requires continuous effort, understanding and a willingness to seek help when necessary.
As conversations about relationships and marital stability continue to attract public attention,
Dr Mensah’s message serves as a reminder that marriage counselling can play an important role in helping couples manage differences, build trust and sustain healthy relationships.
