Couples/Relationship

For many people, their relationship with their spouse or significant other is the most important relationship in their life. Most people desire to have a happy and healthy marriage, and yet marriages are increasingly ending in divorce. Like anything in life, relationships takes a lot of work- and most couples can have a healthy one if they are willing to work at it. 

At Waterstone Counseling Center we are committed to helping couples develop and maintain a healthy relationship. Every relationship will incur challenges and strains, and sometimes these challenges demand the help of a trained professional counselor.  Some of the topics covered in couples counseling include:

• Conflict Resolution

• Communication

• Finances

• Sexual issues

• Forgiveness and past hurts

• Parenting styles and differences

• Meeting my spouse’s needs

• Time management

• Spiritual differences

• Dealing with in-laws

• Facing life transitions

• Death of a loved one

• Job loss or stress

Many times these issues are never fully addressed and they begin to compound over time. It is easy to minimize issues and think it is not bad enough to require counseling. We encourage you to not wait until it is so bad that it feels irreparable, and consider meeting with a counselor who can help you begin working on the problems and concerns in your relationship. If your car was in desperate need of a repair, and on the verge of breaking down, surely you would call a mechanic and get it fixed. How much more important is the most valuable asset in your life- your relationship with your spouse or significant other.
