Marital Therapy
Marital therapy is probably the best single thing that people
in troubled marriages can do to help heal their marriages. A skilled marriage
therapist offers support and intervention that can help distrusting disengaged
partners to safely address their difficulties and begin the process of problem
solving and healing.

The Goals of Marital Therapy
The goals of couple counseling will be
determined by the couple in collaboration with the counselor. The
counselor doesn’t work with a predetermined agenda. The counselor would help
identify ineffective or maladaptive patterns in your interactions and
communication. The counselor would also observe how you manage (or avoid)
conflicts between yourselves. The counselor will facilitate your learning
to see things from the other person’s perspective. You also could learn to make
healthy boundaries for yourselves.
Benefits of Marital
Therapy
ü You will learn how to resolve conflict in a healthy manner. In
marriage counseling you will learn communication skills that will help you not
only listen to your spouse but, to also process what your spouse is saying.
ü You will learn how to state your needs clearly and openly
without resentment or anger.
ü You will learn how to be assertive without being offensive. Both
spouses need to be able to talk about their issues without fear of hurting the
other spouse. In marriage counseling you will learn that you can get what you
need without having to make demands and engage in conflict.
ü You will learn to process and work through unresolved issues.
Marriage counseling offers a safe environment for expressing any unhappiness
you feel. Getting your feelings out into the open with the help of a trained
professional may be all you need. You may find that your spouse is more than
willing to work together to solve the problems in the marriage. You may also
find that your spouse is unwilling to do the work. If so, you are then free to
leave the marriage without any guilt because you have given it your best shot.
ü You will develop a deeper understanding of who your spouse is
and what his/her needs are. Better yet, you will learn more deeply who you are
and what your needs are. You may end up finding that those needs can be met
inside the marriage. You may not.
