Is your relationship or marriage in trouble?
Researchers have found that couples wait an average of six years after their relationships have become distressed or distant before seeking help of a relationship or marriage counselor.
About 50% of first marriages continue to end in divorce and less than 1% of divorced couples ever participated in counseling. Second marriages are even more vulnerable to divorce, with 60-70% of these marriages failing.
There are two time periods in a marriage when divorce is most likely to occur:
- During years 5-7 of marriage, usually after the birth of children
- During years 16-20, when children have become teenagers or left home
Are there warning signs in your relationship or marriage that breakup or divorce may be in your future?
- Growing apart and losing a sense of closeness
- Not feeling loved, appreciated or respected
- Keeping a “mental slate” or “tit for tat” attitude
- Problems with sexual intimacy
- High levels of conflict and/or tension in the relationship
- Loneliness and leading parallel lives
The truth about a successful marriage
Successful marriages are the result of a couple intentionally behaving in a way that every decision they make is to preserve, enrich and enhance their marriage. They have a common vision for this marriage and a common belief system of how to get there.
We’ll teach you excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
When confronting your partner, you’ll both learn to speak in a softer, kinder tone of voice. Statements like “you, you, you!” only make your partner feel angry and frustrated. Instead, try saying “I feel,” and “I would like,” but remember, keep your partner’s dignity in tact. Once you change the way you communicate, you’ll find that your partner responds differently too.
We’ll teach you what to say and do to keep the argument from escalating.
Soon you’ll learn how to resolve conflicts more easily and will find them far less frightening.
You’ll learn how to:
- understand and comfort your partner even when you disagree .
- tell your partner what you want instead of expecting your partner to know.
- stand your ground when it matters.
- show support for your partner’s goals.
- listen to your partner with your heart.
- show affection.
- heal each other with LACE (Love, Appreciation, Compassion, Empathy).
- understand how a sincere intention to change can make a significant difference in your marriage.
