Regardless if one of you is the birth or biological parent or one or both of you are adoptive parents, there are many issues most families struggle with, such as:

• Feelings of jealousy about attention your partner gives to the children
• Fighting about discipline or parenting issues and parenting styles

Therapy can help couples learn how to resolve conflict, improve communication and become more aware of the destructive and hurtful patterns.

Gay in a Straight Marriage or Dealing with a Gay Spouse?

If you are a gay spouse who is trying to come to terms with your sexuality and the impact it has on your spouse, children and extended family, the situation can be painful for everyone involved. Also extremely painful is discovering you are married to someone who is gay or lesbian and/or is involved in a gay relationship or affair. In both cases, there are many issues you have to deal with including the potential or inevitable end of your marriage and all the issues that both of you have to face as you come out or explain to your children, family members and friends.

Regardless if you are gay in a straight relationship or a straight spouse dealing with sadness and betrayal, relationship or individual counseling can help you as you process these painful feelings and changes in your life.

Counseling can also help you prepare to talk to children, parents or other family members about issues of sexuality and other challenges facing your family. It can also help your deal with your spouse in ways that minimize hurt and pain for everyone.
