Marriage Counseling
Most couples need education to keep quality in their relationships. Marriages often have difficulties not because the individuals are unhealthy but because they are uninformed or unskilled.
Every year we learn more about how to help couples be romantic best friends. Best friends communicate freely and completely. Romantic partners enjoy affection, intimacy and flirting.
Some structures I use with couples:
· Genogram: Drawing your family tree with the relationship dynamics that illustrate your early models for relationships and interaction.
· Parental Portrait: Relationship aspects that construct the patterns you may consciously or unconsciously find attractive. Resources
· Enneagram Personality Style: Creating a composite of your two personalities and determining the strengths and stressors in your relationship. Resources
· Communication and Understanding: Learning respectful verbal interaction that is usually affected by gender and personality and is necessary to be best friends. Resources
· Disagreement instead of Conflict: Learning to stay emotionally ‘clean’ through “Airing Your Grievances Safely.” Resources
· Reviving Romance: Enriching the art and intimacy of a passionate marriage through affection, sexuality and individuation.
