Couples Counseling Some Signs of Relationships in Trouble:
- We bicker and argue over most things.
- Problems never get resolved; they keep coming back.
- We never go out and have fun anymore. We hardly talk.
- My spouse controls the money, where I go and who I see, puts me down and calls me
names.
- My partner clams up for days. I don't know what he/she is thinking or upset about.
- Affection and intimacy are important to me but I get very little of either.
- The kids are out of control. I say my partner is too harsh and my partner says I'm too
easy.
- We can't agree on major issues like managing finances, or how much time to spend in
separate activities.
- I am having an affair.
- My partner is having an affair.
Some of the issues addressed in couples counseling are:
- A successful way to stop arguments.
- Techniques you can use at home to reach agreement about:
- Managing finances
- Parenting methods
- Sharing house and childcare responsibilities.
- How quality time together affects companionship, communication, and affection.
- Ways to increase constructive communication and discuss relationship issues.
- How to recover from an affair, regain trust, and focus on a better relationship.
- Ways to get the intimacy you desire.
In counseling we strive for peace, harmony, and cooperation. My goal is to help each couple find the marital happiness they deserve.
