Life has challenges for couples.
Having a partner is a beautiful part of life! The ability to share experiences, frustrations, parenting, setbacks, and joy with someone can help give life significant meaning.
With joy comes challenges in all relationships. Often, we can work through these times with the skills we have, and at other times, seeking help can be very beneficial.
When you get to a point where the same issues continue to arise without resolution, the day-to-day seems like a slog, intimacy, and connectedness fall to the wayside, or you’ve identified it’s time to split, therapy can help.
Life has a way of challenging relationships.
Parenthood brings joy and challenges. Being a new parent changes the relationship in many ways. Partners may disagree on how to parent, and a blended family can complicate parenting. Preparing to launch your children into adulthood is stressful, making you wonder how relationships are likely to change.
Sometimes each partner views their role differently, creating conflicts over apportioning the division of labor in the home. Family and in-laws can challenge a relationship, making it difficult for a couple to communicate and set boundaries within the relationship and with others.
If you are in an LGBTQIA+ relationship, navigating the relationship with your extended families can be problematic.
Sex and intimacy concerns can increase due to work, parenting, or other issues. Infidelity can create trust issues, making it challenging to maintain a loving relationship.
Couples therapy offers many benefits.
Partners can learn ways to improve communication and identify and resolve conflicts. The therapist can help couples identify communication patterns causing problems, provide tools and techniques for more effective communication, and help partners learn how to approach conflicts healthily and productively and develop strategies for resolving disputes in the future.
Counseling helps couples strengthen their relationship to become stronger and more resilient. Partners can develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other by addressing underlying issues and improving communication.
Many issues affect relationships, such as mental health, the use of substances, and other personal problems. Couples therapy can help partners learn to manage stress related to their relationship by developing strategies for coping with stress and creating a support system.
Sometimes problems can erode physical and emotional intimacy. Couples therapy can help partners increase intimacy and address barriers that prevent intimacy. Overall, couples therapy helps address individual issues that may be affecting the relationship.
