Reasons Why You Should Go For Couples Counseling

By Daphne Bowen


There is no shame in seeking help when your marriage has problems. Given the rising number of marriages that end, it is important that you go for couples counseling if the need arises. Here are some indications that you need the help of a therapist to get your marriage going in the right direction again.

If you can't communicate effectively with your partner, get help. This includes one or both partners being unwilling to communicate or being quite disrespectful when communicating. This can be identified with the tone of voice and body actions. If you regularly feel put down by your partner during conversations, then these are warning signs. Aggressive communication can lead to physical and emotional abuse.

If one person in the marriage has had an extra marital affair, it may be wise to get a professional to help you through this difficult time. This is especially if one or both of you still want your marriage to work out. You will need help to trust each other again and to move your relationship past the hurt caused. But more importantly, a professional can help you determine whether your relationship can be salvaged or not.

Sometimes, you may be aware that your relationship has a problem but you may be unable to pin point what the specific problem is. If you feel that there is something amiss from your relationship get help. Not only will the therapist help you to identify the problem, they will also help you to deal with it in the proper way.

When you come to the point in your marriage where you see divorce or separation as your only way out, you need help. The counselor can be able to deal with the problems that you are going through and give you better options of how to tackle problems. This can help to revive your marriage, as long as you are both committed to making the relationship work.

If you don't get along with each others families, seek help. If one of you feels anxious or unaccepted by the other partner's family, this is not healthy for the relationship. Also, if you feel that your partner sides with their family or their family is aggressive towards you, it is time to get help.

Lack of respect in a relationship is not good. It may make one partner look down on the other partner and treat them badly. This will affect the overall state of the relationship negatively. A counselor can help you deal with the reasons why you have started disrespecting your partner and help you to foster a healthy attitude towards each other.

If you no longer know what is going on in your partner's life, you should be concerned. This is a sign that you are growing apart and that you might soon be strangers. You need to rediscover how to be close again by taking deliberate steps. This might not be an easy process and you might need the guidance and encouragement of a therapist to help you.
