The extent to which two people in a relationship can bring up and resolve issues is a critical marker of the soundness of a relationship. -Henry Cloud
Being in a relationship can be challenging no matter what stage you’re in. Whether you recently ended a relationship, are beginning a new one or have been together for years, walking through life’s expected and unexpected seasons can test one’s resilience, strength and the bonds between the couple. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Tony Langstaff has walked with many couples as they traverse through various marital stages and struggles.
Some of these areas include:
- Communication problems
- Conflict
- Infidelity / Pornography
- Blended family (stepfamily) issues
- Intimacy and sexual issues
- Financial frustrations
- Extended family and in-laws
- Any other “Hot Button” topics
- Spiritual issues
- Coping with the challenges of the military life
As psychologist, Dr. Henry Cloud, has stated, “We change our behavior when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing. Consequences give us the pain that motivates us to change.”
Is your relationship in that place of “pain”? If so, you may be ready to begin the collaborative process of change through couples or marital therapy. Contact us to schedule a session or a free, 15-minute consult to see if we’d be a good fit.
