Marriage counseling functions to save a marriage. Surprisingly, it also offers an added benefit, by showing some couples they are in a relationship that isn't healthy and the time has come to move on. When one partner is emotionally abusive, for example, the other partner often fails to realize the damage this is doing until they enter counseling. A therapist in cincinnati works with the couple to help them determine if their marriage should be saved or if it is time to start anew."GuideDoc.com reports that 25 percent of couples who attend cincinnati marriage counseling state their marriage is worse off two years after the therapy ends. In many cases, this may be due to the partner being abused recognizing the problem for the first time following counseling" Sam Nabil explains.
Couples need to seek cincinnati counseling as soon as they realize there is an issue. Many couples neglect to do so, assuming they have simply hit a rough patch in the marriage. The problem is the longer the discord continues, the harder it is to return to a normal, healthy relationship. The marriage may be so damaged by the time counseling is sought, one partner no longer wishes to try and save the relationship. In other cases, the problem has escalated to the point where new communication patterns cannot be taught.
"Happy, healthy marriages aren't perfect, yet many outsiders assume they are. The difference between a couple that stays together and one that splits is the marriage that endures is based on mutual kindness and out of the box problem solving. All too often, one partner loses a healthy sense of self in investing disproportionately in the relationship, and they inevitably feel depleted and unsatisfied when they do not receive as much as they feel they have given. This perceived imbalance leads to long term issues. Marriage counseling works to ensure both partners are heard and both treat each others fairly in the relationship and get what they need out of the partnership," Nabil continues.
Problems manifest differently in each marriage. One couple may find they no longer have intimate relations, yet another couple may feel the only time they connect anymore is when they head to bed. An experienced counselor works to ensure communication remains open at all times and partners feel comfortable being intimate at every level. Honesty is of great importance in a relationship also, yet many partners find it very difficult to communicate their true needs and wants to each other, and settle to a dance of saying what they do not mean, and getting disappointed that their partner could not desipher their coded message. Often I hear clients say " but if he loves me, he should be able to know what I mean", or " She has lived with me for 30 years, she should know by now what I mean". This bazar expectation that our intimate partners can and should " read our minds" is at the heart of some of the most intense marital conflict and serves to build up immense resentment between couples.
Marriage counseling can be of help in reversing this trend, and these are only two of many ways a couple can determine what is sabotaging their relationship and move forward, together or apart, to have a fulfilling life.
"Find a counselor that both parties feel comfortable with and can relate to. Then and only then will both partners be willing to share the information that is needed to determine where the marriage is headed. Don't settle for less than the best when it comes to your life. If you are unhappy in your marriage, contact me today. The three of us will work to decide if it is worth saving or if divorce is the best option. In some cases, it is," Nabil reports.
