Invest In Your Marriage By Attending Couples Therapy Miami

By Diane Bennett


Two people who come together to pursue their romantic interest in each other will need more than just attraction to keep it going. There are cases where both parties are so self-aware that they know they seek couples therapy Miami right from the beginning. Two people who have nary an experience in relationships usually do this. Two people who know that they will need all the help they can get to assure success in their relationship. A pair who will stop at nothing to see their union survive.

Communication is key in any relationship. Every interaction between a couple must have clear and open communication so that none is rubbed the wrong way. Poor communication leads to crossing unspoken boundaries. It also leads to many unavoidable scuffles. If the married find themselves in frequent situations where communication could have put things right, they should seek out a counselor.

Two people who are committed and honest with each other will disagree on several things. No two people can hold the same opinion every time. Even identical twins who have shared everything since conception will have a difference of opinion sometimes. When two people disagree and argument may ensue. The two parties need to know how to argue without letting things escalate.

A therapist will want to find what makes these two people tick. What draws them to each other? What are their shared ideas? How do they differ? How do they handle these differences? What has driven them to seek intervention? What is their motivation for working to stay together? Is there anything in their childhoods that could rear its ugly head and ruin their union? What are their fears? Do they harbor any complexes?

Different counselors use different methods to get a pair on the right track. The most common is where the two have both couples and individual sessions. The individual sessions are meant to help each party get to the bottom of any personal issues in private. It helps them appreciate their own flaws. It is aimed at helping each party take the log out of their own eye before attempting to remove a speck in the eye of their partner. Then the combined sessions are used to help with communication and deal with the root cause of problems in the union. If it is communication, they learn to listen first before speaking.

It is very easy for counseling to fail. This will happen for sure if the pair does not use the sessions wisely. They should be fully and equally committed to solving the problems in the relationship and ensuring they can deal with future problems. Both parties need to appreciate neutrality of the therapist and exercise transparency without fear of judgment.

The pair should endeavor to complete assignments. They may be inconvenient and a bit intrusive but they are a necessary part of counseling. How one partner handles the assignments speaks to their commitment. These takehome exercises work to enhance the bond between the pair. They rekindle passions and renew energy to work harder on the relationship.

For any relationship to work, both parties must be committed to working on it. The amount of work that goes into maintaining it should be shared 50:50 otherwise failure is imminent,
