The Benefits Of Marriage Counseling West Palm BeachPosted by DiscreteCandy on February 10th, 2018 There are many reasons why couples can have challenging times in their relationship. By participating in couples therapy through our services at relationshipspb, our therapists and counselors can work with you to help you overcome the challenges you face. Often, couples are aware that there is a problem in the relationship, but they may not have the skills or understanding of how to approach the problem. Often, one or both have tried to talk to each other about their concerns that one encounters denial, anger, or perhaps a sense of rejection. This, in turn, can further cause the couple to become detached from each other. They do not talk anymore, or at least they do not talk about their relationship. Often, they seem to become more like business partners or even strangers, having trouble relating to each other on anything other than a very basic level. Why Couples Struggle When people are first attracted to one another, they are not focused on the reality of day-to-day living together. Instead, they are caught in the rush of emotions of this emerging love for each other. Most couples do not spend time talking about what their lives together look like. They rarely sit down and consider and honestly discuss real relationship issues. These can include: Expectations of the partner's role in the relationship How responsibility will be delegated in the relationship How disagreements will be treated How to get satisfied needs for intimacy, communication, and feelings of love and commitment work and home balancing financial expectations
The list can continue in this way, and can become very complicated if there are other factors that affect one or the other of the partners. These influences can include the relationship between the parents of both partners, as well as the influences of other relationships they each had in the past. Couples can also find challenges in life increase this level of tension and stress. Issues such as losing a job, adding a baby, a new job or promotion, increased responsibilities at work, or more serious issues such as business, addiction and loss of confidence and contribute to relationship problems.
