I'd Like Relationship Advice About How To Choose A Relationship Counselor
Good relationship advice includes an understanding that the love and
intimacy that most couples yearn for are not automatically sustained in a
relationship. Although many couples find that the initial period of falling in love seems to happen seamlessly, organically, and easily after the first blush has begun to wear off marriages and relationships can begin to feel a bit more like work. And, don't let your husband, wife, or intimate partner tell you that relationships shouldn't have to take work. They do take work, hard work; and, hopefully a lot of fun and rewarding work along the way as well.
Everyday tensions (financial problems, child rearing, job pressures, health concerns, and other responsibilities) can slowly erode relationship vitality in even the most loving unions.
Diminished vitality can cause a relationship to slide into a state of drabness that depletes loving energy and sexual desire. Sadness, anxiety, or anger may begin to take the place of happiness and emotional contentment.
The good news is that for many couples, with professional intervention from a Marriage Counselor or Relationship Specialist, it is possible to restore your relationship to a more loving state, with increased warmth, pleasure, nurturance, and mutual satisfaction.
