It's not magical. With effort and patience, we may all be happier, better spouses sometime soon.

You fell in love with your partner, enjoyed the heady first days of the relationship, but staying in love is difficult. Your relationship isn't what it was or you want, you "can't seem to get it right", or even start. The "happily ever after" fairy tale has soured. You can reauthor your story - you know life is not a fairy tale, but the real tale is far more interesting. Therapy is not about being broken, sick or wrong.

Learn to take care of and give to the relationship; in other words, give instead of trying to get the love you want. Take care of the rel....

Couples intimacy and communication concerns can be addressed through a variety of modalities. One such modality is Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) which focuses on helping couples increase their effective communication.

It works to help slow down the process of communication and to make sure all parties are being heard effectively.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct.
