Couples Therapy

Many struggling couples lack skills in the areas of communication, anger management, commitment, conflict resolution and/or intimacy skills.

Couples Therapy teaches motivated couples skills to resolve or manage:

• ongoing hurts and resentments
• betrayals of trust, such as affairs, or other infidelity-related issues
• expressions of anger or verbal abuse
• distance and a lack of closeness in your relationship

5 Signs suggesting that you should consider Couples Therapy

1. You fight about the same thing over and over and over.
   Some conflict is normal in any relationship,but if you find yourselves having the same argument over and over and over with no appreciation of your partner’s point of view and contempt at the end of the fight, you may be headed for trouble.
2. Spending less time together.
   When other things become more important than setting aside special time for the relationship, relationships suffer. Couples can stop being friends and their emotional connection can suffer. They may begin leading separate lives.
3. Having little or no sex.
   If one partner’s sexual needs are not being met a couple may start fighting a great deal, sometimes about sex and sometimes about other things. When they fight about other things, it might be a symptom of the deeper problem — being disconnected sexually.
   If your relationship is sex-starved, you or your partner should re-examine the reasons it’s happening and do whatever it takes to bring back the passion in your relationship
4. Focusing more on kids than each other.
   When couple’s place their children as the number one focus of their relationship their relationships suffer. Partners become strangers.
   The best thing a couple can do for their children is to make the marriage the most important thing in their lives. Children benefit enormously when their parents have loving, close relationships.
5. Had or Having an Affair/Thinking about Having an Affair
   Affairs often create unintended problems. Once emotional energy goes outside a relationship, the issues needing to be repaired take a back seat. Problems linger and become worse and trust erodes.
