Marriage Counseling Solo
One of the most frustrating times in a troubled marriage can occur if one partner refuses to attend marriage counseling sessions. A marriage is essentially the partnership of two individuals, but when the marriage begins to sour, both must put aside selfishness and try to repair the damage done and rebuild.
What happens if only one person is willing to work towards rebuilding the relationship?
Dr. Marty Tashman is a marriage counselor who has seen this happen many times with couples. He understands that a marriage can be put on the track towards healing, even if the only person makes the move to attend counseling and seek help. In fact, he even has tips for persons who are attending marriage counseling solo:
Here is what I can teach you even if your partner doesn’t come in for counseling:
1. How to better understand your partner even if they don’t speak to you.
2. How to effectively influence your partner when you do talk with them.
3. Learn how to deal with your partner when they won’t listen to you.
4. Get support for a difficult situation.
5. How to help your children in a household that has conflict.
6. Learn how to handle difficult situations like: your partner’s anger, addiction, or In-law problems.
Many times, the difference between a couple separating and a couple staying together to stick it out is a simple act of initial change. Often, when one partner sees the other trying to change and better the relationship, they do join.
