M.A. (Counseling Psychology) / Due to considerable changes in modern society, marriage is exposed to a large amount of stress and has become a vulnerable institution. In spite of the high divorce rate, marriage is still viewed as an important institution; still meets important emotional needs and consequently gives rise to high expectations with regard to personal satisfaction. The marriage counselor has a lot to offer in this regard. In this metamodel, marital counseling is seen as an umbrella concept for counseling, marital preparation, pre-marital and marital therapy and divorce counseling. Since the early 1980’s psychotherapy has been characterized by a rapidly developing movement toward integration and eclecticism. Such integration refer to a conceptual or theoretical creation beyond a blending of techniques. With all the diversity in systems of counseling, it became a challenge to integrate existing approaches of counseling. The same trend is found in the field of marital counselling.
