Can Our Challenges be Fixed with Marriage Counseling?

There are many different reasons to pursue marriage counseling. Every situation is unique, and every situation has the ability to be fixed. Consider this: Have you both tried working through your issues with little to no resolution? Are you both tired of bickering? Do you wish there was another way to get your spouse to understand you? If you answered yes, or relate to any of these questions, marriage counseling might be right for you. Some of the more common issues that have led to some couples to start therapy:

1. Lack of communication: When couples don’t know how to effectively communicate with each other, it can create a storm of tension. Communication issues are one of the biggest reasons why couples seek professional help. Your counselor can help you navigate through what you are both feeling and teach you how to understand better in the future.
2. Infidelity: When one or both spouses have cheated, some concerning damage to trust has been done. Some partners choose to separate after learning of infidelity, however, others choose to try and repair the harm and regain lost trust. You may not know how to move on from this situation but that’s why a marriage therapist can provide the support you need by coming up with a healthy resolution.
3. Parenting: For couples that have children, it isn’t uncommon to run into disagreements when it comes to parenting styles and decisions. It can be especially hard when your children are difficult to discipline in times of need. A marriage counselor not only acts as a mediator for parents when deciding what decisions to make but offers guidance and tools on how to better communicate and find what works best for them both.
4. Financials: Talking about money can be hard. When there’s a change in job or loss of a job, your income can be affected negatively. Being tight on money or not properly spending money can put a huge strain on couples. Your marriage counselor can help you look at the bigger picture and decide what actions you need to take in order to work together to resolve the issue.
