Marriage Counselling

Often seen as something negative, marriage counselling is often used as a last desperate attempt to save a failing marriage relationship.
 
It is mainly used by couples who are already considering DIVORCE.
 
Most couples who seek marriage counselling as a last resort, have allowed their relationship to deteriorate so badly before seeking help that, when faced with the reality of what it would take to fix their marriage, DIVORCE is seen as the easiest and least painful option.
 
Marriage counselling is a problem detection/solving system.
 
It should be utilised earlier and more regularly by married couples who haven't the skills or time to solve their own problems.
 
We believe that if more married couples sought good marriage counselling sooner rather than later, we would see a lot more married couples enjoying the benefits of a dynamic, exciting and fulfilling marriage.

 

All counsellors should have "counselling skills" developed either through professional training and/or personal experience.
 
From research we have done over the last 15 years the most effective MARRIAGE COUNSELLORS, ie those who have consistently helped couples not only avoid the disaster of divorce but also have helped them break through to the next and better level of marriage, appear to have the following characteristics:

1. they believe in and understand the principles of building a dynamic marriage - they have the knowledge
2. they have successful and stable marriages themselves - they have the experience
3. they have been married longer than 10 years - they understand the challenges of change

Patti and I have been married for over 42 years. We have been working with singles, engaged and married couples for close to 20 years.
Many of those couples have discovered the "magic" in their own marriage and gone on to develop really satisfying husband and wife realtionships.
