چکیده
Premarital problems are only a tiny proportion of all the problems related to marriage. Genetic advice may be sought before marriage.

One distinct condition that the doctor may meet is engagement neurosis, or engyesis, which is characterised by anxiety, depression, and appreciable hesitation about the pending marriage. One study showed that after five years half of these patients were married, but that a quarter of the original group, whether married or not, continued to have fluctuating ill health.1
