Counseling For Marriage And Couples
What if I told you that there's hope for your relationship...
Wouldn't you like to learn new ways to build a fun and healthy relationship?
Probably because you feel your relationship or marriage is no longer as fun and interesting as it used to be. Or maybe your relationship is suffering from poor communication. Another reason could be because you feel like your partner does not appreciate you well enough.
Whatever your reason maybe, the bottom line is - it can be a very painful experience to have the feeling of living in bondage in your relationship when it is supposed to be fun and interesting. This feeling can rob off negatively in every other area of life.
Unfortunately, an increasing number of relationships are hanging on the brink with the world becoming more glamorized. Often times, breaking up is the first option of partners when there are disagreements. Other times, they have the impression that their relationships can get better if they can silence their criticisms. But tell me honestly, do you think that's a great idea? It certainly isn't. Granted it can be a tough one deciding on the next step of action that will better your relationship, but have you thought about Marriage & Family Therapist or Counseling?
To find balance in your relationship or marriage, a therapist can help you learn how to let go of any feeling of displeasure or indignation at some remark or act towards your partner. But rather than seeking the counseling of an expert, most partners tend to often rely on “time” to bring their relationships back to life. Some couples even hope that having children will rekindle the fun and excitement in their marriages. Sorry to say this, but those are only wishful thinking. Also, you may be good at avoiding issues that you feel are beyond your control but the question is - for how long can you that? You are definitely going to reach your breaking point. So what do you do when that happens? Read on for answers!
Bring your RELATIONSHIP Back to Life
First off, you must accept the fact that your relationship isn't always going to be a bed of roses.
If you ask me, I would say - a long-term relationship actually commences after the usual early beginning characterized by deep affection and a strong feeling of connection you both have for each other. However, at the expiration of such periods (e.g., honeymoon period), it is developmentally expected that the demands of adjusting to your new relationship or marriage life will take its toll on the both of you.
In other words, the going is getting tough. Now, how do you keep the tough going? As partners, growing at the same pace as your relationship evolves over time will help the both of you to adjust better. But the sad news is, there isn't even time for most relationships to evolve since most partners find it difficult to welder early storm.
One of the reasons for this is that - partners fail to realize that misunderstandings are almost unavoidable in long term relationships especially considering the fact that you both have different personalities or views about things before coming together.
It is very common for partners to disagree over hobbies, finances, interests, etc. Experts will always advise that partners accept each other's differences because anything other than that could result in a breakdown in communication, anxiety, frustration as well as stir up anger.

I Doubt Marriage or Couples Counseling Can Fix The Problem Between My Partner & I...

Is Marriage or Relationship Worth The Fight
I don't think I can afford couples therapy with my budget, isn’t it expensive?
More often than not, most people shy away from seeking the services of relationship or marriage counselors because they think it will cost them a fortune. If you are one of such persons, have you considered what the issues you are having in your relationship are costing you?
If yes, then you have to agree with me that seeking professional help will benefit you more than constantly having to visit a doctor due to illness resulting from increased anxiety and stress, etc., resulting from your relationship crisis.
Even a divorce will also cost you more should you decide on opting for that. Either way, relationship counseling will cost you less, making it the better option. It gets even better considering family counseling is covered by many health insurance companies. But you needn't worry either even if outpatient therapy is not covered by your own health insurance because, at Raleigh Counseling, our services are incomparably affordable. We take the income of your family into consideration.
And In case I Decide On Discontinuing The Counseling To Seek For A Divorce, What Will Happen?
That is not a problem at all; you are the boss as far as your relationship counseling sessions are concerned. If at any point during your marriage counseling, you and partner decide upon initiating the process of a divorce, your therapist would have no other choice but to respect your decision.
At Wake Counseling & Mediation, your counselor is there to help you resolve your marital or relationship issues and not to judge your decision or criticize your actions.
Finally, you can consult us at Raleigh Counseling, to make an initial consultation without committing to the actual therapy sessions for couples. So, contact us today, and we would be glad to help you resolve the problems in your marriage or relationship.
