Are you feeling hopeless in your marriage? Marriage and couple relationship problems can cause strife in so many areas of your life and have an impact on your functioning both within the relationship and family, as well as in your relationships with others, your work performance and overall happiness. Divorce is disrupting and messy, affecting children in a negative way, and causes stress regarding money, emotions, and family relationships.
Many couples do not seek help with their relationships until they are in crisis or even not until one of them has brought up the subject of separation. Marriage counseling works better if sought out as soon as discontentment arises. This dramatically reduces the toll that marital problems take on the individuals, the family, and the children.
There are so many benefits of a happy marriage. Happily married people are physically healthier, more contented than single people. Loving connections create greater health, a longer life, and a stronger immune system. Life’s difficulties are more easily handled with the support of a loving partner who can offer support and friendship. Life’s decisions are more easily handled by having someone who can help in the decision-making process or act as a sounding board. Happily married people report more overall satisfaction with life.
A decrease in marital problems can decrease individual or family problems. If the problems with the relationship are the cause of an individual’s depression or anxiety, for example, then help with the marriage can be accompanied by decreases in depression or anxiety. Marriage counseling which lessens adult problems has a positive impact on individual problems experienced by their children.
In my work with couples, I take a non-judgmental, problem solving approach to help couples improve their relationships. I focus less on what is wrong and more on what is already positive or working well in the relationship. I build from strengths.
