Being in a relationship shouldn’t be painful. Whether couples are in committed relationships, engaged or married, keeping the spark of love alive and encouraging it to flourish sometimes requires a little outside help. We specialize in communication issues and help you to speak your partner’s love language and reopen the channels of communication that often become blocked by real life living in an uncertain world.

Whether you are coping with a communication gap, life transition, family communication or getting reacquainted as an empty nester, our professionals can help you rekindle the loving relationship with the person you first fell in love with and successfully negotiate and master the stages of relationship development that we all experience.

Our counseling is based on the work of Michele Wiener-Davis, LCSW, Dr. Judith Wallerstein, Dr. Gary Chapman and David and Claudia Arp. All are experts in marriage and family life and have published numerous books on the subject of healthy relationships.

All successful intimate relationships experience some common characteristics:

	Emotional separation from family of origin – establishing ourselves as independent adults
	Building relationships based on mutual respect, trust and healthy boundaries
	Creating a pleasurable physical relationship and protecting it from incursions by workplace and family
	Embracing the tasks of parenthood and adjusting to the change in the family that having children creates while maintaining the couple’s privacy
	Creating a sense of unity in confronting the life transitions and crises that we all experience and maintaining the strength of the marital bonds even in adverse situations such as job loss, financial difficulties and death of loved ones
	Keeping a sense of humor – despite the stress, being able to share laughter and humor. It helps to keep the rest of life in perspective
	Nurturing and comforting each other, allowing each partner to lean on the other during difficult times and offering continued support and encouragement
	Keeping love alive over a long time.

If these are your relationship goals or you are experiencing a transition that is making your relationship less than you want it to be, we can offer hope, support and proven strategies that help you change your lives for the better. Please call us. We can help you.
