Find hope, healing, and restoration for your marriage in Marriage Counseling

Marriage is a unique relationship and unlike any other relationship. Marriage requires attention and being attended to! Many couples have problems with communication. That is because not many couples have the right skills when it comes to dealing with challenges and difficult issues. In spite of couples loving each other, they report feelings of frustration because they keep fighting about repeating the same old patterns in their marriage.

We are designed as relational beings. We are meant to connect intimately with another human being in an authentic way. This means when our emotional and relational needs are met. Relationships are the fuel we need as men and women. We also need the right relationship skills. We are not born with the skills we need to connect with someone else. We are meant to learn and experience those skills in our family of origin with our caretakers when we were growing up. Many times this does not happen or it may have been a confusing inconsistent painful experience. Many people find out that they do not have the right relationship skills to do marriage. They run into problems with communicating or connecting. I usually tell people your problems in marriage began way before you got married. I provide specific skills to help them grow in their relationships with one another. 

Let me give you an example. You have a relationship with your car. How is that? Using or driving your car is not the only experience with your car. Your car is dependent on you attending to it, taking care of it, and making time for it. When you get in your car do you check in with your dashboard before driving it? Do you make time to notice your fuel and other basic needs before driving? Do you take the steps or do you ignore the needs of your car and the reality of what your car requires? In marriage, you must have an awareness not only of yourself but of your spouse too. Do you have the skills to see what that awareness sounds and looks like in practical ways?

Seeking awareness in your relationship and the right type of engagement with your spouse would lead you to better communication. You must be as attentive to your marital relationship as you are to your car. Working therapeutically with Jousline Savra will show you that, and help you to gain the right relationship skills.

What is the dance in your marriage today? Do you have the awareness, the right relationship skills? What did you learn growing up? Are you ignoring the problems in your marriage today? The longer you wait for the get the right type of help, the more painful it will be to get your marriage on the right and healthy track.  

Find out how to grow closer to each other through Marriage Counseling

Adversity in marriage provokes growth!

In order to experience an authentic connection in marriage, both spouses must be able to communicate their emotional needs clearly. Many people don’t know how to do this.  

Your early life experiences – your early history in life plays a significant role in your marital relationship and how you two talk to each other, whether resolving conflicts and disagreements or ignoring them. 

Therefore, it’s important to discover your love style, which explains your marital problems including your parenting style and much more. You can take the love style quiz as part of your counseling process with me. Contact me now.

The longer you wait as a couple, and ignore or delay facing your problems, the more painful your experiences will be.

Your kids are significantly impacted by how you talk to your spouse.

The happier and healthier your marriage, the happier your kids will be. No matter what age your kids are, the quality of your marital relationship and how you talk or treat each other leave a life-lasting impression that cannot be erased. 

Your relational dance is due to your love styles. This dance keeps you arguing, experiencing certain upsets and feelings of frustration and misunderstanding, as a result, you are repeating a painful repetitive cycle year after year. Couples don’t know that there is a better way. Many couples struggle in the area of sexual intimacy. Many couples are not aware that all the underlying unresolved emotions can impair their sexual intimacy, emotional connection is the foundation of your sexual intimacy.

After attraction, dating, and marriage, many couples don’t know that their histories shape their sexuality. Couples don’t know how to build a sexually satisfying marriage. Couples are unaware that the role of friendship and their attachment style plays a critical role in healthy sexuality in marriage. They are unaware that abuse, porn, affairs, and other hard stuff destroy intimacy and connection between two people. We are designed as sexual beings with a purpose in mind.

What is your story today? Are you tired of ongoing communication problems with your spouse and you don’t know how to make things better between you two? You just want to feel close to him or understood by her, is it not happening? Are you and your spouse constantly bickering, dealing with sex, money, work-related issues, or family-in-law matters? Another common problem is that many couples don’t know how to talk about the reality and the role of sex in their marriage. Can you have an honest talk about sex? Is that original attraction you felt still alive in your relationship?

The important key to solving marital problems is when you know how to have an honest conversation without reacting to your spouse. If you don’t know how to do that, please take the time to get the right professional help. The passing of time or ignoring your problems will not solve your relationship problems.

There is a big difference between being truly married, and feeling close and connected with your spouse, versus just living life together and being on the same team sharing tasks.

The most common issues that bring couples into therapy are;  infidelity, sexual concerns, separation or divorce, not feeling happy in the marriage, not being able to get along, loss of attraction, dealing with traumatic events such as not knowing how to deal with spouse’s addiction or having conflicts with the in-laws. Taking the first step is the most difficult part of healing.
