Marriage Counseling Services Helping You Through A Difficult Time
By Janine Jensenoris
It seems you’re on two completely opposite schedules
to the extent that you’re not even sure who you’re married
to anymore. When you do see each other, one of you is
rushed, distracted and negative; the other is passive-aggressive,
nagging and left feeling unappreciated.
Perhaps when the kids are out of the house, you’ll
just part and go your separate ways. Or are the golden
years of your marriage just buried under years of poor
communication and unfulfilled desires? There are a myriad
of marriage counseling services designed to help you
and your spouse review your options and get back on
track, whether you’re newlyweds or seasoned partners.
Eradicating The Source Of Your Frustration
For many middle-aged couples, the arguments revolve
around finances, careers and kids. If you or your spouse
have debt problems, are big spenders or argue over who
wields the power of the purse, then perhaps credit counselors
can help eradicate the source of your frustration.
Often, when we’re strapped for cash, we begin to act
out of character and we may begin to communicate poorly
because we’re afraid to face the facts. Prioritizing
becomes exceedingly difficult if you are living penny
to penny. Additionally, career counselors can sometimes
offer counseling for marriage.
A Specialized Family Marriage Counselor
There may be arguments over retiring, changing jobs,
re-entering the workforce after child rearing or not
making a stable income. Lastly, disagreements over child
rearing can tear at the very fabric of a marital bond,
leaving the children to become the unfortunate casualties
of such squabbles. A specialized family marriage counselor
can help readjust your attitudes and focus, thus arming
you with better parenting skills and unified goals.
In some cases, marriage counseling services may begin
with both partners committed to reforming, yet the marriage
therapist may want one of the partners to seek additional
assistance.
Mental Health Counseling
Mental health counselors are specially trained to deal
with severe depression, panic disorders, intermittent
explosive anger disorders and low self esteem. All the
couples counseling in the world may not be able to alter
pre-existing patterns that a person has suffered with
throughout his or her entire life.
Medication, education and intense one-on-one therapy
is the only way to help a marriage where one partner
is in crisis. In other cases, a traumatic event such
as rape, a traumatic accident or the death of a loved
one may signify the need for grief counselors.
Highly Trained Counselors
We’re not always equipped with the tools to deal with
everything life throws at us, so these highly trained
licensed counselors can provide us with the strength
and coping mechanisms to make it through this difficult
time, with the support of a spouse.
Marriage counseling services for gay marriages may
also be sought. Not all marriage therapists are trained
to deal with the complex set of issues that come along
with civil marriages or gay-lesbian-bisexual relationships.
Just like any other relationship, gay couples can have
a communication breakdown, suffer infidelity, or suffer
differing perceptions on sex, co-parenting or
friendships.
Accelerated Relationship Repair For Gay Couples
The San Francisco Gay Couples Institute deals with
local partners primarily but also offers special "Accelerated
Relationship Repair" for those who are flying in
for the weekend. For a more discreet approach, Lumient
Counseling offers over-the-phone support and advice,
as well as online therapy for about $2/minute.
O’Mara and Associates, based out of Indiana, offers
workshops in almost every state, as well as remote assistance
if you’re not willing to fly. Many local communities
where gay marriages are held also have pastoral counselors
through the churches where civil unions are held.
