I understand and appreciate how complex and personal relationships are.  I also see it as a very brave and courageous step toward improving your relationship. All couples experience a variety of difficult challenges and struggles throughout their relationship. This is normal and part of being in a relationship. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\"><strong>A marriage is a blending of two hearts, two heads, two different people &#8211; who have made a commitment to each other and formed a union together. It&#8217;s understandable that differences will arise, because no two people are exactly alike and each individual has a totally different history. <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>But learning how to communicate better and truly understand and respect each other&#8217;s hopes, personalities, and flaws, and resolve conflicts effectively will go a long way toward improving your relationship.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: small;\">There will always be stresses and life changes that test a relationship. Over time and for a variety of reasons, couples develop consistent patterns of relating to one another. Many times these patterns are very positive and productive. However, often the patterns are unproductive and this is where the couple gets &#8220;stuck&#8221;. My job as a couple&#8217;s counselor is to help the couple identify these unproductive patterns and learn how to change them by acquiring new skills in order to become happier, healthier, and more connected partners<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\"><strong>Over the years, I have worked with <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>couples struggling with a variety of issues such as, communication breakdown, conflicts and arguments, hurts and resentments, disagreements over raising children or having children, intimacy\/sexual problems, extramarital affairs, financial disagreements and more. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Couple\u2019s Counseling can help you to:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Improve communication <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Manage conflict and disagreements <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Increase intimacy <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Overcome bitterness and resentments <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Repair past hurts<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Develop greater trust, respect and closeness to one another<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Better understand and support each other\u2019s desires, feelings, and needs<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 10.95pt;\"><span style=\"color: black; font-family: &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 7.5pt;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making the decision to see a couple&#8217;s counselor can be very difficult.
