Couples and Marriage Counseling

“Love is a constant process of tuning in, connecting, missing and misreading cues, disconnecting, repairing, and finding deeper connection. It is a dance of meeting and parting and finding each other again. Minute to minute and day to day”
Sue Johnson

Do You Want More Out Of Your Relationship?

Relationships are in a constant state of flux. As you grow and change, it is natural for your relationships to change and grow with you. However, learning to grow as a couple can be complicated.

  • You may struggle to communicate effectively with your partner, resulting in constant fighting with no real resolution.
  • Or perhaps you and your partner or spouse have withdrawn from each other and fail to interact much at all.
  • Do you want to feel closer and more connected in your relationship?
  • Do you long for the strong emotional and physical connection that you used to feel?

Approaching marriage can be both an exciting and overwhelming time. This is also a valuable time to establish a strong relational foundation for the many years to come. Whether you and your partner simply want to be prepared for this next step or you find that you are both a little distressed as you approach the new commitment, premarital couples counseling can help get both of you on the same page. Premarital counseling focuses on creating a foundation of communication so that you can successfully navigate important issues jointly. Creating a safe, secure environment to talk about managing finances, how many children you may or may not want, and life goals in general is important for you both to feel understood and fulfilled in your relationship. A solid foundation of communication makes the transition to married life more smooth and sets you both up for a satisfying, lasting relationship. Crossroads puts an emphasis on communication first in our approach to premarital couples counseling. Read More →
