A small amount of my practice is seeing couples. The majority of those couples are the ones who are pretty much checked out of the marriage and someone is already meeting with lawyers. I do have, from time to time, the couples who come in who are truly committed to making things work. They realize they have hit a bit of a rough patch, are having communication issues, or just not making their relationship a priority. I commend these people greatly. There is that idea that couples counseling is only for those who are having serious issues. Sadly, the people that already have the bags packed and not going to benefit as much from counseling as those who are not there yet. They are mentally checked out already.
Every single relationship has problems. It doesn't mean that things have to be over. Having the benefit of an unbiased third party can be invaluable to your relationship. You owe yourself that.
Let's face it, you don't wait until you are dying to finally see a doctor for the very first time, shouldn't your relationship have the same importance as your health?
Happy Friday everyone!!!!!!
