What to Expect During Marriage & Couples Counseling

Marriage is a unique, privileged, and powerful relationship. Marriage is "work" as any married person will tell you.

However, most people fail to tell you what “work” looks like or at what point you should “work” on your marriage. In truth, marriage isn't meant to be work as in labor, but rather work based on intentionality.

Clearly, this vital detail eludes many as the divorce rate booms at 51-54% for the State of Georgia, and over 40% nationally.
As your marriage counselor, and with your commitment to our work together, I will help both of you understand how to reclaim, heal and fortify your marriage. Your communication will markedly improve. You will obtain vital insights about yourself and your partner.

You will also gain understanding and clarity of your role in the marriage and skills for healing in the areas the marriage is hurting. Perhaps the most important benefit of all is that you will gain practical knowledge on how to prioritize and protect your marriage, re-establish closeness and intimacy.


Finally you will learn how to protect your marriage against infidelity, “irreconcilable differences, growing apart,” and even prevent divorce. Time is not on the side of a hurting couple. Let's get started, today!
