About Couple / Marriage counsellingRelationships can go through rough moments independent of the duration of the relationship. Stress can be caused by miscommunication, lack of intimacy, personal problems or other circumstances. Often, taking time to sit down, discuss each other's opinions, emotions and needs for support improve the situation. This can be challenging to go through by yourselves. Small issues have the opportunity to grow into large problems due to anxiety or avoidance. The level of unhappiness grows to a maximum level. Partners within the relationship could become more individualistic and losing touch with each other's needs. The connection becomes weaker and it could seem that you are both on a different track, heading in different directions. The relationship becomes vulnerable to external negative influences.
Marriage counselling helps the both of you to reflect on your relationship and understand the process it has gone through. Reinforcing the strengths of the relationship and being more aware of the pitfalls helps to reconnect. Discussing the needs of each other to feel connected and secure rebuilds the foundations to grow. When intimacy or sexuality has become a problem we can discuss how to find the intimate connection again. |
