Effective Marriage and Couples Counseling In Marietta, GA

Do you want a more satisfying relationship? Couples therapy and marriage counseling in Marietta, GA can help.

Creating a sustaining loving relationship requires couples to consciously negotiate mutually agreeable expectations as well as make reasonable accommodations for each other. When couples move from the fantasy phase of their relationships (in which they agree about most everything), and into the reality phase (in which they discover their differences and may have power struggles), they often may experience disillusionment and frustration.

In couple's therapy, the additional components in the determination of effectiveness are whether both partners become aligned in their expectations and desires, and that they work together to create an improved relationship.  This process usually includes each partner becoming accountable for the participation in the relationship, becoming more considerate and wise in the interactions, managing reactivity, learning constructive strategies to resolve differences, and collaborating with each other to create the changes necessary to achieve the desired outcome.
