If Your Relationship Has These 4 Marital Issues, You Should
Consider Attending Our Couples Therapy Retreat

All marriages take work. Being in love is a great starter to a happy marriage, but the reality is that all relationships take a solid amount of work to be successful. Regardless of how similar or different you and your partner are, a good relationship is one where both people are striving to always move forward.

All relationships eventually need a little help to get through some of the more difficult times. A great way to do this is through counseling. You might be a little skeptical and wonder if counseling actually works.

What a good therapist does is find a way to take the blinders off the relationship and get to the root of the issues. This way, both people’s feelings are validated and you can work together to find a viable solution to those issues that might be bringing your relationship’s progress to a standstill.

You might be wondering if your relationship could use a tune up via a couples therapy retreat. If your relationship has these 4 issues, then it would be in your best interest to get an objective viewpoint and some strategies to keep your relationship strong.

Constantly Fighting about the same things

We all know that one couple who always seems to be fighting, yet their relationship is still strong. For some couples, this is the dynamic that works for them. What is problematic is when you and your partner keep having the same exact fight over and over again.

What this shows is that your relationship is lacking in strong communication skills. When you learn how to properly communicate, you are able to find solutions to those problems that seem to keep coming up time and again. A good counselor helps you identify the root cause of these fights, listen actively to one another, and find a viable solution that both people can get behind.

Sex? What’s that?

Every relationship goes through the hot and cold phases when it comes to sex. The issue at hand is when your sex life has dramatically slowed down or come to a halt completely. A lot of times a lack of sex means that there is a bigger issue plaguing the relationship.

People who are unfulfilled, especially sexually, tend to get that “what if” or the wandering eye. With couple’s therapy, they can help you deal with the anger and frustration, and find a way to reintroduce regular intimacy back into the relationship

The kids see it too

If your kids are constantly asking you about the subject of divorce, then your relationship has digressed to a point where it is noticeable to people outside the marriage. Children are observant, and they can sense when there is something more going on, regardless of how much you try to hide your problems from them. Couple’s therapy can help get your issues under control before they continue to affect the family dynamic.

You stopped trying

There comes a time in a struggling relationship where one or both partners start to really question whether the relationship is worth saving. As a result, you stop making the effort to work on finding solutions or to create situations for closeness and intimacy.

This is a dangerous place to be in a relationship because that’s when it becomes easiest to want to pull the plug on the whole thing. With intensive couples therapy at Relationship Rescue Academy, you will have someone who helps you identify these issues and create an environment where both people are willing and able to put in the necessary effort to make the marriage successful. Cooperation is ultimately the key to your relationship’s success.
