Marriage Counselling
Marriage problems can range from temporary setbacks to chronic issues that jeopardize the long-term health of the relationship. These problems can arise from a variety of sources including communication breakdowns, financial stress, infidelity, and differences in personal goals or expectations.
Common Symptoms of Marriage Problems Include
- Communication Breakdown: Consistent misunderstandings, lack of meaningful conversations, or frequent arguments over the same issues.
- Decreased Intimacy: A noticeable decrease in physical affection and emotional closeness, which might not necessarily relate to sexual intimacy but to the overall connection.
- Loss of Trust: Stemming from infidelity, dishonesty, or other actions that undermine the relationship’s foundation.
- Conflict Over Finances: Disagreements about spending habits, financial goals, or financial pressures that strain the relationship.
- Differing Life Goals: Misalignment in long-term desires such as children, career ambitions, or where to live.
- Emotional or Physical Withdrawal: One or both partners pulling away, leading to a sense of isolation within the marriage.
These symptoms can create an environment of tension and unhappiness, impacting not only the couple but also other family members, particularly children.
