What is PEC?
Background (Why?)
Secondly, Marriages in modern times are found to be losing their sanctity and divine purpose. It is looked like a ‘magical step’ which would change troubled and addicts as soon as they tie the knot. There is a need to understand the real meaning of marriage when one is contemplating the marriage at the initial stage itself.
Thirdly, Two persons get into marriage with their own set of values, beliefs, behaviours and needs. There is a need to understand or become aware of one’s personality to lead a healthy marriage life. Often, the inadequate knowledge of oneself and the inability to get adapted to the calling of marriage are creating compatibility as well as adaptability issues.
Aim
Objectives
• Insight into one’s behaviours and attitudes influenced by the Family of Origin,
• Discovering oneself, and learn effective personal and interpersonal coping strategies,

• Deconstruct myths and reconstruct Christian perspectives about marriage &

Please note: At the end of the programme, the participants would meet the counsellors, both individually, and with their would-be partner, for a therapeutic encounter.
