Why is this so hard?

No one denies that marriage can be hard at times. Couples counseling is meant to enrich your marriage and deal with hard things like: 

• Breaking out of patterns that keep you stuck in relational frustration. 

• Learning to listen to each other with understanding and empathy. 

• Negotiating problems in ways that lead to understanding and resolution.

• Recovering from negative emotional arguments without the silent treatment or escalating aggression.

• Developing the safety needed to be intimate with each other in mutually satisfying ways.

• Rebuilding trust after an affair or other betrayals.

• Learning how to handle the daily challenges of parenting together.
