Context

The strategy of providing marriage counselling emerged in the early 20th century as societal shifts and rising divorce rates highlighted the need for structured marital support. Recognized first in Western societies, its importance soon gained global attention, with the post-World War II era ushering in formal professionalization and research. Over time, international bodies and governments acknowledged its role in supporting family stability, shaping contemporary approaches to marital well-being across diverse cultural contexts.
