Applied Session, Family
Management
Participants are sitting in a circle and stating their reasons to join the course. Some examples:
“I am a marriage consultant. I have come here for a systematic
understanding of family life. I treat family problems every day. I want to know
how these problems come to be and if they can be nipped at the bud.”
“I am planning on starting my own business. It is not a start-up per
say, but it is my first venture. For this I need the financial backing of my
wife’s family. But she comes from a large family with some very complicated
internal issues. I joined this course so that I can understand such situations
better and work them out to my advantage.”
“I am doing this on behalf of my wife, because she does not have time
for it. She is working and finds it very difficult to devote much time for my
parents. So, I am trying to learn something that I can share with her to make
it less stressful for her. I am going to focus on relationships with in-laws.”
“I am getting married in October. Mom got me enrolled.”
“I am a creative writer for daily soaps. I used to write scripts for a
TV series about unsolved crimes but now I have shifted to another production
house. Now I will be writing family dramas. The typical saas-bahu stuff and I
need some backgroud knowledge.”
“We plan to move abroad next year. My husband’s childhood friend is in
Sydney and he is helping us to relocate. But we do not want to lose touch with
our families after we move to Australia. We want to learn how one can remain an
integral part of the family without being physically present. I mean, like, you
never know when you have to come back, right?”
“My three brother-in-laws are very well to do. They have contacts in
high places. But they do not approve of my marriage to their sister. We ran
away and got married. That has been a few years now and we don’t mind being in
touch with them. But they are still not very eager. We thought this course might help us to understand them and become a part of the family.”
“I got married last year. We are planning now. I want some tips about
how to manage everything with the baby and also during the pregnancy period.”
