Couples counselling is an opportunity for each of you to identify and learn about your negative patterns of behaviour that interfere with a loving relationship. Couple counselling can help you modify the patterns and take responsibility for them in a positive way that promotes closeness and intimacy.   

• Dysfunctional patterns contribute to the couple's inability to identify and to satisfactorily meet their own and each others emotional needs and expectations.

• Marital strife can sometimes include the inability to separate out and thereby to protect and support the couples emotional needs with regard to family and outside pressures.

• The marriage couple is the foundation of the family.

• A marriage breakup is the break-up of the family.

• Marital therapy can often prevent both from happening.
