Troubles replace that loving feeling.
If you have come to this section, you are having trouble in your marriage or relationship. You probably just had another fight and feel angry, frustrated, and maybe even hopeless.
Perhaps you feel lonely and are looking for anything to create a connection again. You wonder, “Is there hope for us as a couple?”
You might have the same fights over and over, feeling like no matter what you do or say, it just triggers another battle.
The fire has gone.
The monotony of your days is killing you inside; there seems to be no spark.
Date nights have become a thing of the past, and there is no effort made to rekindle the love you both felt.
What happened? Are you no longer attractive to your partner?
Being your partner’s roommate is not exactly what you had in mind when you saw a long-term commitment with them.
Making the relationship work is not easy.
Having relationship problems is a common experience for couples; being caught in this cycle can feel overwhelming and even leave you hopeless.
Maintaining a loving, meaningful relationship takes a lot of hard work; sometimes, old patterns and cycles can get your relationship completely off-track.
Things that happened ages ago keep getting brought up, and you can’t move forward.
It can seem confusing to you why your relationship is so complicated when you are successful in other areas of your life. How can the two of you be such intelligent, capable, driven people who love each other and cannot “make it work”?
The past can influence the present.
As individuals, you have come into a relationship with life experiences that make you who you are. To a great extent, your past environment and how you saw those around you engaging in their relationships can influence how you deal with your partner.
Past traumas can continue to resurface and present as anger, emotional abuse, or even being thoroughly ‘checked out.’
We often have the best intentions but don’t always know how to connect and how to build a healthy, meaningful relationship.
Over time, relationships can change.
Relationships with others can be a great adventure – beautiful, complicated, and challenging. The people involved in the relationship can change and evolve as time passes.
These changes can lead to issues, sometimes so impactful that they may involve seeking a therapist specializing in complex relational matters.
You both have agreed to see a therapist and work on your relationship. You want to try everything you can to make this work.
Relationship counseling for your marriage or romantic relationship can help you overcome a negative time. Hence, you become stronger as a team and more ready to handle other issues in the future.
Couples therapy can help improve your relationship.
Working with an expert in couples can be an excellent resource for helping you heal and rekindle the relationship you both want.
You and your partner can become aware of these unhealthy patterns and learn new ways of relating, communicating, and connecting. The two of you can learn how to share your needs with your partner without feeling unheard.
Together, we can explore your relationship and what is not working. Let’s also identify the strengths within the relationship and what is working.
