Couples Counseling and Marriage

Aug 10, 2017

Most married couples attend marriage counseling as the last resort to the end of their union together. This misconception of marriage counseling is that counseling is only a tool to use to work out problems to save the marriage before a divorce. Most of the time, this last resort makes the counseling process lengthier and more intense. Typically, there is year’s worth of miscommunication to be worked through. This can make the process of marriage counseling seem frightening to many couples. Because of this, most counselors suggest employing a marriage counselor as a supplement to an already healthy marriage before issues even begin to arise.

A marriage usually does not only end only as a result of a devastating event like addiction, abuse or an affair. The truth is that many marriages end due to years of miscommunication that eventually build up until the couple no longer feel that they love each other or they begin to think the close bond they once had is no longer there. It is one of the single most reasons why most marriages truly fail and it happens so quickly that most do not see it coming.

Life can bring on unexpected events that can affect every person differently. Even the happiest of events in our lives can have subtle negative consequences on a relationship. When change and pressure occur at work and home, elusive emotional responses begin to multiply when a couple does not take the time to learn to communicate all their thoughts and feelings entirely. Couples may feel resentful over their spouses' success or disagree on how some of the financial matters are handled. When a person shares their life with another person, without effective communication skills, a marriage can become problematic without a major contributor.

Marriage counseling is a great tool that two people can use so that they can focus entirely on their marriage and the successful building of that marriage during a scheduled time devoted to exactly that. It can become the place that each person is permitted to discuss matters that may not be discussed in the home during normal events, rather than counseling being only a place to save a marriage. Upon entering counseling, most learn that marriage counseling is about communication skills and relationship building that can be very exciting to the couple. Marriage counseling helps each person in the relationship feel heard even before they begin to feel unnoticed. Learning these skills can improve their relationships at home and can be utilized in any area where strong communication skills are needed.

Never does a couple need to have a serious problem to seek out a counselor, nor should they wait until counseling is the only option they think is left. A good reason a marriage counselor should be sought is that each person is entirely invested in one another and want their bond to grow stronger with each phase and transformation that their life brings. As we grow as people, marriage counseling helps a couple grow together through all phases of their lives. Marriage counselors are trained to be objective towards the issues being discussed. Having learned through many years experience and training to help couple express themselves, Marriage Counseling can offer effective communication skills to build successful growth in all areas including those most important.

You may contact us for any questions that you may have about marriage counseling as a supplement to your marriage.
