Are you and your partner stuck having the same argument every night? Do you feel like the you and your partner are drifting apart? Do you desire more intimacy in your marriage?
Partners frequently report feeling the relationship has lost its spark, that they argue about the same thing with no resolution, and that they are living more like roommates than lovers. A desire for affirmation, appreciation, and care can contribute to a couples’ disconnection and disengagement. In this state of disconnection, the partners are each unable to give what the other needs.
Many marriage / relationship problems originate in unfulfilled expectations or unmet needs of the partners. Conflict and withdrawal from one another can result, adding to the couple’s dissatisfaction with the relationship and increasing feelings of disconnection.
Relationship distress is a circle without beginning and with no definite end, but these patterns can be improved with some support and work.
Some issues that bring couples to therapy are:
- Balance (Work/Life/Family)
- Blended Families
- Chronic Illness
- Divorce
- Extended Family Members Interfering
- Infidelity/Cheating
- Lack of Intimacy
- Anxiety or Depression
- Habitual Pornography Use
- Differences in Sexual Appetite
