Bluffton Marriage Counseling, RESEARCH tells us that the most critical time in a marriage is between years 6 & 8. The pit in your stomach & the ache in your heart is telling you that now is a critical time in your marriage. To complicate the situation, most couples wait about 6 years after trouble begins in the marriage to seek counseling. The encouraging news is for the couples who were miserable & struggling in their marriages who pushed through and received counseling they reported being highly satisfied in their marriages 5 years later. In other words---don't give up! It is possible to overcome the difficult times!!! Please believe & focus on the hope that you can be one of those successful couples! REACHING OUT to a marriage counselor when you need help in times of trouble is one of the most important steps in the process of creating change, improvement & healing in your marriage. Some marriages need a tweak to get out of a rut & back on track. Maybe you're having the same old fight more often than usual or maybe you feel distance and disconnection growing between you. Don't give up! Your marriage can flourish. You can live a dream come true! MORE & MORE couples are in crisis as a result of adultery/infidelity, compulsive sexual behavior, sex addiction, porn addiction, intimacy anorexia & other traumatic life events. You may be broken hearted, feeling lonely, hopeless, betrayed or filled with rage resulting in depression, anxiety and possible PTSD symptoms. Today you might feel like there is nothing left to save & that you have had enough. You feel completely done and ready to throw him/her out and move on. Please---don't give up! There is always hope. I have seen couples restore trust, develop healthy intimacy & affection for each other & turn their marriages from total disaster to dreams come true. I'll be honest, its hard work and it takes time---but it is so worth the challenge! LIFE IS HARD. When your current marriage is causing pain, divorce sounds like the answer to all your problems. The truth is, 75% of divorced couples wish they would have worked harder to save the marriage. Ending a marriage, dating again, growing older with blended families is harder than it sounds! With a skilled marriage counselor, you can save your marriage, learn new skills, process old wounds, and develop new behaviors that foster growth, connection, affection & intimacy in a new healthy marriage---all your friends will be green with envy!

I believe that having a place to where we can sort out the issues that confront us in safety and privacy is very helpful. Being able to do so with someone who is outside of our daily lives and has some training, experience and hopefully talent in helping one move forward is also very helpful. This is what counseling offers. A place where we can say anything, talk about anything with someone who has no vested interest in outcome and holds no judgement over us is very freeing. The past informs the present. Finding the links that bind us and cause us to stumble due to distorted beliefs from long ago is what therapy is the work of psychotherapy. It is helpful to everyone.
