Our marriage counselor works with couples who are dating, engaged as well as those who are married. Couples often come in for counseling at a point when they fear their relationship is beyond repair. Communication has broken down, they lack trust, and intimacy no longer exists. Taking time to address this in therapy increases your chance of resolution.
Some seek out therapists because of an affair or infidelity. Affairs can happen in happy marriages as well as troubled ones. The good news is that most marriages not only survive infidelity, but can become stronger and more intimate after marriage counseling. Any life change, or traumatic event, in a relationship can bring about many emotions, including sadness, confusion, and despair. The result of those thoughts and feelings can change communication patterns and increase solitude.
