Marriage, Family and Relationship Counseling Signs Of Need: Are There Issues In Your Relationship?

  • Obsessively thinking about divorce
  • Contact between partners diminishes
  • Communication and time spent together become less and less
  • Are you attacking, provoking, blaming, being overly critical of your partner?
  • One or both partners seem to be distant, distracted, or miles away in their thoughts
  • Is your sex life different, diminishing, or non-existant?
With divorce rates at 50%, couples face the most severe challenges to relationship stability ever. Research shows that on average, couples wait six years from the first signs of problems before they seek help.

A good counselor is a good strategy resource. While you can, and should, think of ways to solve your marital problems independently, a marriage counselor knows how to solve problems just like yours and the strategy should make sense to you. In fact, the strategy should encourage the belief that problems will be over soon. Counselors often obtain special training for many common marital problems, such as sexual incompatibility and financial conflicts. Our clinicians can document a high rate of success in finding solutions to those problems.

The three most important reasons to find a marriage counselor are
  1. To help you avoid or overcome painful emotional reactions to the process of solving marital problems
  2. To motivate you to complete your plan to restore romantic love to your marriage
  3. To help you think of strategies that will achieve your goal.
