Divorce lawyers will consistently see failed marriages and although they will be appointed to support one partner against the other, they will understand the difficulties that married couples face. Where the situation is not reversible, divorce lawyers may suggest that couples undergo marriage counselling therapy to give their relationship one last opportunity to become successful.
All Marriages Are Potentially Vulnerable
Those same lawyers are quick to see that many relationships begin to fail on the day the couple decide to get married. Having put in tremendous effort to make the relationship work, getting married is often the start of the period where one or both of the couple fail to put in consistent work, to keep the marriage alive.
Building a bond with each other is extremely helpful when we meet to discuss your marriage counselling therapy. We will suggest that you explore the reasons that you became a couple and find these as positive ways to look forwards.
Talk and Learn How to Listen
Couples may insist that they have drifted apart and have nothing left in common. While this may be true, there is always a period before this when you could choose to meet with us for marriage counselling therapy.
We will encourage you to learn to listen to your partner and understand how you should hear what they say. Listening is more than just the words used; it combines the emotions and body language and feelings that the individual wishes to display.
This is one stage of learning to communicate better during a marriage. Long before you choose to believe that you have nothing to say to each other, increasing the communication between the two of you will keep the interest levels alive. When one of you asks the other about your day, it may be the simple things in life that keep the communication and conversation flowing. In return, this gives couples the opportunity to share more within their relationship and when you feel and see that you are presenting an interest to your partner, they are more likely to be aware of your likes and dislikes, what happens in your life and how you can discuss and enjoy those matters together.
