“You may not have the relationship you want.
But you can have the relationship you make.” (Agazarian)
A good marriage is a caring partnership…a conscious connection that welcomes the possibilities, and meets the challenges, of your shared life.
It flourishes when your partnership is rich with respect for each other’s dreams, even when your dreams differ. It thrives when you stand strong, despite the storms that life brings. And it grows loving when you weather conflict by finding ways to repair what you have clashed about.
BUT there are times when your feeling of connection dissolves…when something breaks down, and you, or your partner, fall into dark reactive moods…times when you lose yourselves in unacceptable...even intolerable interactions.
For some couples, this happens too often.
You ask yourself why is this happening? Why can’t we be kinder…more patient with each other? And as this happens with greater frequency, you question the viability of going through life together.
Couples therapy is one way to restore the possibility of a satisfying, workable relationship. In therapy you can acquire the tools and develop the skills to help you re-build and sustain your emotional bond.
Perhaps now is the time to commit to re-building your partnership…to explore the dynamics of your relationship...to learn new skills and acquire new tools to relate more effectively to each other?
Perhaps it’s time to become partners again…and make the relationship you want and need?
