Counseling for Couples - Much of our satisfaction depends on our ability to create and maintain meaningful and mutually fulfilling relationships. Our attachments to partners can be a great source of love, comfort, and pleasure. Emotional, physical, and sexual intimacy together forms the foundation of our bond.
When relationship conflict surfaces, whether because of a communication breakdown, finances, work stress, infidelity, or other issues, it’s important to remember that there are options.
When couples have the right skills to communicate and connect with each other emotionally, they are able to gain support and strength through their relationship and turn to each other to manage life stressors together, rather than have the relationship be a source of stress.
If your marriage is going through a rough patch, you may be considering couples’ counseling. It is a good idea: research shows that couples’ counseling can be a beneficial tool to help couples identify negative patterns in their marriage and, more importantly, correct these patterns before the marriage is beyond repair.
Even if a couple ultimately decides to split, spending some time in couples’ counseling sessions is helpful. It provides the two individuals a safe place to unpack their issues with a neutral third party guiding the conversation towards a productive solution.
