Help for Your Marriage

At some time or another, every marriage will encounter difficulties. It's not a matter of "if" but "when." Would you be surprised to know that most couples experience difficulties at fairly predictable times?

  • Shortly after the honeymoon, the newly-weds realize that the other person is truly different from themselves.

  • When the first baby arrives, the couple realizes how much their lives have changed – forever!

  • When its time to decide who helps with homework and who does the evening dishes and cleans up.

Then there are the usual conflicts about money, in-laws, and of course, sex.

All couples experience difficulties.

Fortunately, most couples are able to resolve their conflicts on their own.  

There are times, however, when the problems have become chronic, or too complex, or too overwhelming.

When this happens, what couples do next is vital!

For over 25 years, I’ve helped couples identify and resolve the core issues in their conflicts. Working with the couple, we analyze their strengths and growth areas, and together develop a strategy for overcoming the obstacles and getting their marriage back on track.  Each session is structured around meeting the goals the couple has identified.  When couples work together to resolve the issues that have divided them, they can build the strong, warm, and satisfying relationship both of them want.

How can we know if we need to see a counselor?

I help couples learn to communicate effectively with one another. If you’ve ever found yourselves talking a lot, but not really communicating, you’ll know what I mean. But I have good news for you!  As couples learn effective communication skills, most are able to develop their own strategies for resolving their conflicts. Couple Communication ® is one of the best programs available for helping couples learn to talk and listen effectively with one another.

Invest in your marriage … invest in your future.
