Are You Ready to Save Your Marriage?

COUPLES THERAPY LONG BEACH

Many married couples today are struggling to keep their relationship alive. There does not seem to be that same spark or that special friendship that they had years ago. Thankfully there is something that couples can do to get that spark back.

Novus Mindful Life Institute in Long Beach offers couples therapy for anyone looking to strengthen their marriage or relationship. Seeking out therapy can be healthy and strengthen the bond between two loved ones.

We offer online Telehealth sessions for your convenience. The Novus team provides you with the tools needed to repair relationships. Afterward, you both better understand one another, yourself, and each other’s concerns.

If that is something you and your partner could benefit from and you live near Orange County, CA, or Long Beach, CA, consider couples therapy with Novus Mindful Life.

SIGNS THAT YOU MIGHT NEED COUPLES THERAPY

Communication issues are a major factor in relationships and it is often miscommunication that is the problem. To communicate well, both of you must put forth an effort. Being passive-aggressive or giving the silent treatment are both examples of bad communication. They are not effective in a relationship and will begin to erode it over time.

Trust is another factor that comes into play with relationships. When you trust another person, it means letting your guard down and showing your vulnerabilities. Trust takes time to earn but can become lost in mere seconds. That is how fragile trust is. If these issues seem to be the root problem for you, couples therapy can still help you form a healthy relationship.
If there is a low amount of intimacy, that can also lead to issues.

There are a lot of possibilities as to why this issue has arisen. The person may find it hard to talk about or could be embarrassed. It is vital to figure out if it could be a medical condition before looking into couples therapy.

If you have a problem in any of these areas, you may want to consider getting help. Many couples seek out couples therapy only when their problems become worse. That will make healing the relationship that much harder and resentment harder to let go of. Getting to this point is not a good idea.

If you think your relationship would thrive from couples therapy, contact Novus today. Our experts in Long Beach, CA, are eager to help you get back that spark.
