Marriage Counseling
FOR THE ROAD AHEAD
In marriage, the road can be narrow.
Together, you have experienced companionship, joy, and cooperation.
But there have been cracks in the pavement.
Blending two lives…preferences, assumptions, beliefs, and habits…it’s not easy.
You have started to feel unheard, unimportant, and disconnected.
Marriage is not a superhighway.
You try to move forward.
You make concessions, bite your tongue, and apologize.
Nothing you say or do is enough.
Seeking advice from friends and family has backfired.
You cannot make sense of what is happening.
It’s like driving at night without headlights.
The two of you are going in circles.
You are tired of it.
The cycle of tension, explosion, reconciliation, calm…repeat.
You feel alone, defeated, and dissatisfied.
You wonder if you have made a mistake.
Your marriage has entered a round-about, and you cannot find the exit.
Marriage is for the long haul.
You’re committed–for better or worse, in good times and bad.
After all, marriage is about more than personal happiness.
The two of you have put quite a few miles on together.
It only makes sense that the relationship would need a little TLC.
You are ready to make a pit-stop and tune up your marriage.
Emotionally connected, spouses can thrive in a marriage.
Our counselors are ready to support both of you as you heal old wounds and reconnect emotionally. In the process, you may be asked to do the following:
- Completing an Assessment
- Setting goals
- Communicating with your spouse
- Examining your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
- Learning and practicing new skills
- Reviewing your progress
When you are in sync with your spouse, marriage hums along.
But occasionally, a piston misfires. Our counselors can help you get back in sync before significant damage occurs. In marriage, this might require any of the following:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy
- Healing past trauma
- Regulating emotions
- Communicating effectively
- Managing expectations
- Family roles and dynamics
- Responding with empathy
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
