Marriage Counseling and Reconnecting
Relationships are continuous, even when they end. There is a connectivity that is created between two people that can never be taken away, an intimacy and knowledge of one another that becomes part of each person. Some couples revisit their connection, even years after a separation or a divorce. Couples counseling can help renegotiate this renewed connection and guide the pair down a healthier, happier path.
This was the case with Susan and Victor. The couple had been married for only 2 years before divorcing. There had been infidelity as well as addiction issues between the two as well as heated arguments, with family members often called to the scene to mediate.
After years of separation, Susan and Victor began reconnecting through a mutual friend. At first, they just pursued a friendship but after some time, they realized they wanted something more serious. When they entered counseling, both had one focus in mind: how can we make our relationship healthier than before?
As they talked about their marriage, both realized they had much to learn from their previous problems; long-standing patterns and behaviors that had lead to such a poor place with one another. They both acknowledged how much they had grown up as well. Both could attest to healthier self-esteem and more inner calm to guide them through trying times.
Susan and Victor remarried after a year’s worth of counseling. They visit their marriage counselor occasionally but feel that entering counseling helped them enter an “new era” with one another.
