Couples Therapy & Marriage Counseling in Atlanta
It’s good when it’s good.
But the arguments in your relationship are more frequent and go unresolved.
You’re tired of getting loud, fussing, lack of understanding, or feeling dismissed and disconnected. You may even describe your relationship as exhausting, at times.
You’ve tried to sit down and talk about your relationship issues, but you or your partner feel the need to defend yourself during discussions. Maybe you or your partner always take offense or one of you shuts down when the conversation is hard. The problem is, you and your partner communicate differently, and it shows through even the smallest things.
But you want to communicate more effectively. So that you can learn how to cope with your emotions during stressful times within your relationship, agree or compromise better, and move forward in a like-minded relationship.
Do you really want to end the cycle of disagreement? Then it's time you think about how couples therapy or marriage counseling may aid you and your partner in finding a neutral ground and spark your chemistry back.

Benefits of Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling
Here are some unique things you and your partner would benefit from by attending couples therapy together.
Improve Communication
You will learn how to communicate your needs, worries, and expectations in your relationship in ways that reduce triggering conflicts or arguments. Proper communication creates less room for assumptions and more room for transparency which strengthens the respect and trust between you and your partner.
Discover Triggers and Hot Topics
Understanding triggers can help both of you to take responsibility for your actions and reactions in your relationship. Together you will be able to discover the root causes or things that lead to them during counseling and then get advice on how to cut them off or walk around it.
Mutual Understanding
Learn to build a strong commitment of heart, mind, and body with your partner. Mutual understanding will create opportunities for support rather than criticism while giving each of you leverage over negative emotions. Thus, helping you seek more effective ways of handling flaws and mistakes.
Mutual Acceptance
Learn to value your partner’s differences. Understand the need for flexibility and compromise in your marriage while remembering that everyone makes mistakes.
Restore Intimacy and Love
As you progress in marriage counseling and couples therapy, it becomes easy to initiate new relational patterns, thereby allowing you and your partner to grow closer and experience the love you once felt.
Restore Trust
The presence of trust helps create successful cooperation in your relationship. In turn, trust helps reduce anxiety, insecurities, and doubts about your partner.
