FAQ – Addressing Your Concerns

Q. Would it be offensive when you bring in difficult topics?

A: The couple finds it fun to discuss the issue brought to them in third party language as scenarios, or case studies. They actually enjoy discussing it and come up with their own solution to the issue. So far among the hundreds of premarital counseling that we have done not one was offended by our method or program2.   

Q. How effective is counseling done via Skype Video Conferencing?

A: It is extremely effective. It brings about the desired results that are appreciated by the participant. Please read the reviews and testimonial on our website Rahmaa.org   

Q. Can out outline how benefit of on line Skype Video Conferencing?

Q. It takes a lot of time from our busy schedule?

A: The counseling is done at a mutually agreed time on weekday evenings or weekend. They don’t have to take time off from their busy schedule. Sometimes parents prefer to get counseling after their children go to bed
