RELATIONSHIP CHECK-UP
A Relationship Check-Up will help you look at the health of your marriage or other relationship just the way a medical check-up helps you assess your own health. The Check-Up process includes conversation, questionnaires, and other paperwork in a complete assessment of your relationship in important life areas. Marriage counselors have found that those relationships that get periodic attention through a brief assessment process tend to improve and both partners experience an increase in satisfaction with the relationship. You can expect the two session Relationship Check-Up to help you identify the strengths in your relationship and how you can use them to deliberately improve the weaker areas.
COUPLES COUNSELING
Relationship Enhancement
It can be very difficult to maintain a healthy, stable relationship over the years. Time and pressure can divert the couples attention away from their relationship. Couples counseling can be the way to gain deeper levels of commitment, compassion and respect in the relationship. Skills training can provide new ways to communicate, resolve conflicts and increase intimacy.
Relationship Distress
It happens to many couples at some point - that feeling that the relationship is taking all your energy and not giving much back. This is relationship distress and counseling can help. Whether the problems between you and your significant other are recent or have been building over time, it helps to have a counselor who is focused on what is best for the relationship.
Typical issues for couples include -
conflict
communication problems
financial disagreements
criticism
infidelity
lack of understanding
sexual differences
trust and being trustworthy
parenting
in laws and extended family
and many more.
Finding a couples counselor is an expression of hope. Many people think of counseling as a last resort, however wise people who are committed to their relationship recognize that there can be times when neither person in the marriage has the experience to solve the problem. Love for the other person can be the motivator to do whatever it takes to get the relationship onto solid ground.
In some marriages, the decision is made that you will both be better off if you split up. In this case, marriage counseling can help you make sound, well-thought-out decisions. Often the separating partners need to work on grieving and healing in order to move on. When children are involved, it is vital to take the relationship to a place where parenting from two households is possible.
Couples counseling can work. Whether your relationship needs serious repair or just a more caring atmosphere, taking the step to get help can make all the difference. Most relationships can be rebuilt with a willingness to grow and to change. Don't wait too long to give counseling a try.
