The Purpose
Marriage is not easy, despite what we might idealistically expect. The joys and stresses of sharing your life with another person can result in marital problems, but marital issues are common. Whether you and your spouse are having difficulty with communication, intimacy, or trust, marriage counseling can help.
Counseling is meant to help you grow and change in healthy ways. When you and your spouse recognize a problem in your relationship, a counselor can lead you forward in ways to help you overcome that problem. Common reasons to see a counselor include:
Communication problems
Lack of intimacy
Infidelity
Family struggles
Financial problems
Nontraditional relationships
Divorce
Many people tend to think of marriage counseling services as a last resort for a failing relationship, but this isn't always the case. Premarital counseling can help couples prepare for the stresses of marriage, while counseling can also help you through the grieving process if you and your spouse decide to separate.
