Marital problems don't just show up over night. Most marital problems show up early in a relationship as minor disappointments and tensions. However, some couples lack the emotional intelligence to resolve the "heart" of an issue. Couples fight about "trivial" topics sometimes that disguise underlying issues related to needs for understanding, support, and respect. When couples get into these negative, circular, blaming and defensive arguments they can get stuck for years. The longer the negative cycle continues, the deeper the resentment and emotional alienation.

Early detection and resolution of these marital "symptoms" will greatly enhance a couples chances for resolution, deeper understanding, and enhanced partnership.

Does your relationship have any of these "symptoms"?

Are you dissatisfied with how you talk to your partner?Do you feel misunderstood by your partner?Do you not feel close enough to your partner?Do you ever feel criticized by your partner?Are you unhappy with the amount of affection from your partner?Do you sometimes feel devalued or disrespected by your partner?Do you feel controlled or unsupported by your partner?Do you have trouble communicating with your partner in an open and honest way?Are you dissatisfied with how both of you work through conflict?Do you sometimes think that responsibilities for housework and childcare are shared unfairly?Do you and your partner have difficulty balancing time spent together and separately?Do you have chronic disagreements about money?Do you have disagreements on how to parent the children?Do you feel that your sex life could be better?

If you are experiencing any of these relationship "symptoms," you can first relax because conflicts over these issues are normal. Couples counseling and marriage counseling can help you manage your emotional conflict and therefore, enhance your relationship satisfaction. Counseling can give you the information, the strategies, and the tools to work through your differences effectively. Counseling can help you:

Recognize the "real" reasons for dumb fightsRegulate anger, frustration, and blamingReveal your longings and your fearsRelease the pastRebuild trustRespond less defensivelyRelinquish controlling behaviorsRepair damageRenew your commitmentRestore your passion

At the first signs of distress, seek the advice of a seasoned relationship expert. Statistics on divorcing couples say that the average distressed couple waited 6 years before they seek advice from a couples counselor. Six years of distress can leave a lot of damage. Don't wait 6 years when you can solve your relationship problems and be happier today!
