Relationship and Marital challenges

What relationship and marital challenges might affect me?

Humans are naturally social and seek others’ company. Close relationships are essential for most people and often provide some of life’s greatest rewards. But every relationship goes through difficulties at times.

Common problems that might require couples counseling include:

• Poor communication
• Sexual difficulties
• Family conflicts
• Parenting differences
• Debt and money worries
• Unfaithfulness

If both partners cooperate, communicate, and compromise, they’ll likely overcome these issues. If you and your partner can’t connect and agree on a solution, couples counseling at LaSante Health Center can help you deal with relationship and marital challenges and bring you together again.

Couples counseling can also be beneficial before you encounter relationship difficulties. Many people find that having counseling before marriage provides them with the knowledge and understanding they require to deal with challenges that might occur in the future.

What does couples counseling involve?

LaSante Health Center offers a safe space to examine the problems you face without judgment. Your therapist begins by assessing your relationship and learning about the difficulties involved. They then work with you to help you overcome these hurdles.

Couples counselors specialize in interpersonal communication, including body language and non-verbal cues. They teach you skills that remove relationship obstacles and enhance partnerships.

Strong interpersonal skills enable you to manage conflict, build and maintain a healthy relationship, and improve intimacy.

What skills will I learn to help with relationship and marital challenges?

Skills LaSante Health Center teaches you for relationship and marital challenges include:

Communication

Communication skills include actively listening to others when they speak instead of thinking about what you plan to say next. You also learn how to respond to others thoughtfully, considering how your response will affect them.

Assertiveness

Assertiveness means feeling confident enough to say “no” to others when necessary and ask for things you want or need. Being assertive doesn’t involve being unreasonable or aggressive — a trap many fall into when trying to assert themselves.

Conflict resolution

Conflict is natural and unavoidable in relationships. Your therapist teaches you conflict resolution skills to help you understand each other’s views and settle your differences together.

Anger management

Anger management education involves recognizing anger and expressing it appropriately. This ensures you’re better able to cope with emergencies, solve relationship challenges, and achieve your goals without losing your temper.
