The Marriage Counseling Blog

Couples counseling is a process, just as a relationship is a process; always unfolding and ever active. Even when a relationship feels as if its hit a wall, it still is moving. The dynamics change in slight ways. It’s an energy between two people and it needs to stay active.

So how does couples counseling help you understand the pulse and ever-changing dynamic of your relationship?

Here’s what Susan, a political activist married for 6 years:

When I think back to our marriage at the beginning, it was so different. We’ve grown and changed so much. And thank goodness. We were kind of reckless and stupid with one another’s feelings at the beginning. Jerry always seemed like he was looking elsewhere for his happiness, like his job. And I just didn’t know how to communicate.

Then as years went by, I realized we had stopped communicating at all. Hence why we started couples counseling. That was 2 years ago. Now…my gosh, its like we’re a different couple. People talk about their “honeymoon” period. Well, this is our honeymoon period. Six years into our marriage! Now, we’re having fun. We’re more focused on another. We can talk more easily. We are just having more fun.

Even at the lowest period in your relationship, hope remains. Couples counseling allows you the chance to change and adjust in ways where you genuinely enjoy one another again. Or may genuinely enjoy each other for the first time. You and your partner just need to be open to change…and hope!
