Marriage on the Brink of Divorce ?

Is your relationship on the brink of divorce? Are you at a serious point and know something has to give. Do you wonder if you can break out of these negative patterns or if you need to split up? Certainly, you know you need to make a change – one way or the other.

If you’re at this point, it makes sense to sit down with a professional before you make matters worse. Marriage counseling is a good option when both people are open and willing to work on the relationship. In contrast, discernment counseling is an option for couples stuck in bad place and not sure they are committed to working on the marriage. Both parties may not be open and willing to work on the marriage or feel hopeless, so that’s what discernment counseling can help with. It helps a couple sort through issues in a safe place so you can make some decisions.

Unhappy Relationship or Marriage?

You and your spouse or partner need couples counseling?

Are you in a unhappy relationship? Many relationships in a bad place end in a break-up or divorce. Some have tried counseling and others have never really looked into getting professional help to see if they can feel more satisfied and happier in their relationship or marriage.

Are you in an unhappy relationship?

Are you feeling like you’re not sure if you can stay together? You are not alone.

Many men and women have tried for a long time to convey how unhappy they are, but for some reason their husband, wife or partner was unable to really understand how bad things have been for them. This happens in all types of relationships…straight and gay. In some situations, one partner has been pleading (sometimes for years) to go to counseling. At least one person was aware they were unable to resolve their issues without that help. Unfortunately, their spouse or partner did not listen and things had to get to a very critical point ( the very serious threat of separation and divorce) before seeking an experienced marriage or couples counselor to help.

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve been asking your husband, wife or partner for a very long time to go to counseling and they just ignored your request and did not take you seriously
You’re really angry with your spouse or partner for finally being ready for counseling and feel “why now?”
You or your spouse feel disconnected, neglected, verbally abused or ignored
It might be too late to work on your marriage or relationship since your wife or husband is the one that wanted counseling for a long time, and now that you’re ready, they are not very willing.
Many, many mistakes and have not treated your wife, husband or partner the way you should have.You’re desperately hoping that professional help can make a difference with where you are right now.

Many couples wonder if they can work things out and stay together. Not just stay together because of the children or because they fear what things will be like if they’re on their own financially or emotionally, but actually make the relationship better and more satisfying.
