Why are you searching for a relationship counselor?

I want to share with you 4 ways that working with a marriage counselor can improve your relationship.  Please be mindful, that these are 4 of many.

4 Ways To Improve Your Relationship

1. Healthy couples spend time alone and together.

 A healthy balance of together and independent time directly strengthens marriages. The reason is simple. Before the relationship, you spent time alone or with your friends and family.

What takes place is that couples come together and slowly let go of their independent worlds. This can negatively impact the relationship.

One key reason is that your independent life connects directly to who you are.

With your partner try to break down your schedule for the next 30 days. Include a handful of independent and together activities to engage in. At the end of each week, reflect together on the activities.

Evaluate to see if the new structure is improving the relationship or your mood.

2. Healthy couples use soft approaches.

A soft approach in a relationship reduces tension and creates an opportunity for healthy communication. This strategy can be achieved by first introducing your partner to the topic you want to talk about instead of starting the conversation on the topic.

Ways to use a soft approach in your relationship:

• Honey, I would love for us to sit down this afternoon at 7:30 PM to talk about our relationship. Does that work with your schedule?

I want to give you a heads up that, I want to share some of my thoughts and feelings with you. For a supportive podcast on relationship, growth click here.
