“Pre-Marriage Training Course for Happy Married Life” (PMTCHML)

After the stupendous success of the first batch, the Health Promotion and Health Communication Unit of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) will be organizing the second “Pre-Marriage Training Course for Happy Married Life”, first of its kind in a government medical college , in October 2008. This two days course is meant for the men and women, especially young adults, going to get married. The second course is scheduled for 21-22 October, 2008 and is open to any Indian citizen of more than 18 years of age and planning to get married .

Why this Course ?
Incidence of marital discord and sexual disharmony, HIV/AIDS and STDs amongst the young couples is rising. Apart from stress in general life, it is believed that ignorance, myths and misconceptions about human body, sex and failure to adjust in marriage are the principle reasons for this.

That is the motivation for starting such a course. This course aims to help the youth in preparing physically, socially and emotionally for married life in a better way.

A maximum of 30 participants will be registered per batch on “first come- first served” basis. A nominal registration fee will be charged for this two days course.

Participants will also be advised on screening for certain genetic and acquired diseases before getting into nuptial alliance.


Eminent specialists will take sessions in this participatory course that will cover information on :

• Human and sexual anatomy;
• Sexual functions, sexual problems and their solutions
• Contraception;
• Common sexual problems;
• Sexually transmitted diseases ( STDs) including HIV/ AIDS,
• Advice about screening for genetic diseases ; and
• Making adjustments in married life etc.
