Marriage Counseling

How Do You Know the ‘Rubber Band’ Has Not Snapped In Your Marriage and There is Still a Chance to Make It Work?

What if you are not clear about dissolving your marriage? Perhaps one of you still thinks that the ‘rubber band’ is not yet broken. One of you wants to give it another try – or maybe both.

When you still have some hope that the relationship can be repaired, or a question about that, then it pays to call in a Marriage Counselor as your next step before dissolving your relationship and going through the divorce process.

What should you expect from your Marriage Counselor? You should expect that your Marriage Counselor will:

  • Have many years of experience. Research shows that the more experience of the Marriage Counselor, the better the outcome.
  • Treat you both equally without being seduced by one side or another. 
  • Realistically help you assess whether or not your marriage is saveable. It is difficult to rebuild a marriage, yet possible, if both sides are willing to work on their part in the marriage.
  • Can get both of you to really listen to each other.
  • Not allow the two of you to repeat over and over dysfunctional or painful patterns of anger and not listening, once the patterns have been acknowledged by the counselor.
  • Hear your feelings.
  • Teach you how to change so that your marriage works.

I would be happy to recommend a Marriage Counselor for you who fits the above criteria before you take that final step of divorce. Just give me a call at 631-757-1553 or send me an email with the form to the right.
