Couples Counseling

Picture
When to consider Couples Counseling:
  • A couple can no longer resolve conflicts without fighting, shouting, or name calling.
  • Discussions devolve into unproductive conversations in which the ‘D’ word (divorce) is used frequently.
  • Couples stop communicating and experience a disconnect
  • No matter what the topic is,  nothing ever gets resolved satisfactorily
  • One member of the couple has had an extra-marital affair—either physically or emotionally. 
  • The is a specific area of conflict like whether or not to have a child, whether or not to move, how to spend the couple’s money, how to discipline their children effectively  and how to get along with the in-laws
 
What if my spouse won’t come?  Will counseling work?
It can work depending on the issues you as a couple are facing

If there has been an affair, is there any way to fix our marriage?
It is possible to fix a marriage as long as both of you want it.  NO marriage is irreparable
