Marriage Counseling VA - When To Save Your Relationship?

By Anna West


Marriages that succeed are due to a blend of a number of factors. Two of the most important ones are happiness and fulfillment. Absence of these two crucial factors besides others could lead to matrimony disaster and subsequent marriage counseling VA.

A number of people assume that the only alternative once you start experiencing marriage challenges is counseling. But when you turn to matrimony counseling, the focus is on behavior, action and doing. And in fact, it's very possible that you could do all the tips, techniques and offered to you by your matrimony counselor, yet still wind up unhappy and frustrated with each other. Why?

There is no end to the ways that couples can create conflict in their relationships. And there are many reasons why couples seek matrimony counseling. All marriages are beset with difficulties at some point in the relationship. Sadly, many do not survive them, and become numbered in the divorce statistics.

This therapy is in most cases undertaken at which point the two parties start experiencing stress levels of pain, hurt, depression in the relationship. This is despite the fact that these problems did not just emerge in an impulse but have underlying for a while. Yet usually the only time people seek out matrimony therapy is when the relationship is already nearly broken down. If couples had sought therapy in time before adding the layers of hurt misunderstanding, the success rate of therapy would be greatly improved.

Now I know I'm making a generalization about ALL matrimony counselors and I do realize that there are some "renegade" matrimony counselors who do not follow these beliefs. But based on the countless "horror stories" from the couples I've worked with over the years, these counselors are few and far between.

Showing affection and being emotional as far as conversing, discussing issues and listening to one another goes a long way in making therapy a success. There are also some other things that have been studied that shows some situations of therapy working better for certain groups than others.

The physical and emotional separation may aggravate feeling of pain, loss, mourning and distress. Matrimony therapy can often be of great help during this period as it can help couples express emotions that have not been fully expressed, and clear the air for a new beginning as divorced people.

The reason couples end up in the offices of matrimony counselors is because they want somebody to help them do what they're not able to do... Believe their matrimony IS valuable. Talk to virtually any couple who has been to a matrimony counselor and you'll find them in agreement. But the sad truth is that most marriage counselors just don't believe matrimony itself IS valuable.
