Naples Psychologist Helps Couples With Marriage Counseling Solutions

By Donna Beley


In a troubled marriage, one partner may want to talk about what is wrong. The other partner may not want to admit anything is wrong. When both are willing to work with a Naples psychologist, there is a possibility of finding a solution to their problems.

A problem that is ignored will only get worse. It may be a simple misunderstanding. Counseling can help both partners to understand each other and accept that some discord is inevitable.

If only one partner is willing to see a marriage counselor, it can still benefit the marriage. Mutual agreement to attend sessions is preferable. However, the wife may gain valuable insight if attending alone.

Questions and answers are used to identify the main disagreement between husband and wife. A psychologist can also judge them by their body language. It will reveal how much anger lies between them.

A sexual disorder is sensitive and difficult to talk about. One or both partners may have intimacy issues. It is not always easy to make sex a priority. However it should be an important part of the relationship.

Some factors lead to, instigate and maintain a sexless marriage. A lack of emotional intimacy is definitely not conducive to a healthy physical intimacy. Often a health problem can be part of the problem.

A counselor can make it easier to uncover a hidden reason for lack of sexual contact. Through counseling, that reason can be confronted. The sexual incapacity can be resolved when it is understood.

A childhood incident of sexual molestation can result in the inability to enjoy sex. The spouse may not know about the abuse. When it is revealed, the other partner may be more tolerant.

Another possible reason is an injury that resulted in permanent disability. Taking some prescription medications can suppress libido. However, the most likely barrier to healthy sexual intimacy is lack of communication.
