PREMARITAL, MARRIAGE & COUPLES ONLINE COUNSELING
While I have no fixed notion of what a relationship should be, here are some questions that should help guide you in determining the quality of your relationship:
Do you and your partner bring out the best in one another?Is there mutual respect?Can you count on one another?Do you each feel heard and understood?How is conflict handled?Are emotions used constructively or destructively?
Is your relationship challenged by any of the following?
BETRAYAL - infidelity, loss of trust
ADDICTION - pornography, sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling
BOREDOM - sexual, emotional
SEXUALITY - intimacy, quantity/quality, negotiating alternative relationships
COMMUNICATION - having a voice, listening, stubbornness, patience, anger, expressions of affection
RECONCILIATION - redefining, renewing, rewiring
UNCOUPLING - knowing when it’s time
If your partnership is challenged in any of these areas, you have good reason to seek help. In the day-to-day, it may feel easier to not rock the boat. But why resign yourself to merely bearing out your relationship?
Nothing from a manual or scripted in my approach to couples counseling. I am guided by your specific challenges and by who you are as individuals. I encourage you to consider taking this step for the sake of your current or future relationships.
