Answering Common Questions
What is Marriage Counseling?
Who is marriage counseling for?
Marriage counseling isn’t just for couples in crisis. We work with couples seeking guidance from a marriage expert for a host of reasons. We work with:
- couples seeking to grow great marriages
- couples struggling with sexual issues in their marriage
- couples struggling to keep their marriage alive
- couples in crisis due to affairs, addiction, seperation, etc.
- couples who have already divorced and want to explore reconciliation
What is a session like?
In sessions, we aim to create a relaxing, no-expectations environment where you (and your partner) can begin to discuss topics that have been difficult at home. No two individuals or couples are exactly alike, and we are sensitive to helping you define what is “satisfying” for you. You may start to notice change after a couple of sessions or quite a few sessions – but it is important to know that this gift takes time, patience and dedication to cultivate.
Why should I seek marriage counseling?
If you feel “stuck,” frustrated, confused, or anything other than satisfied with your sex life, you may benefit from partnering with trained professionals to discuss potential for improvement. Individuals and couples may often avoid counseling due to unknown expectations; we would love to meet with you to discuss these concerns and see if Building Intimate Marriages would be a good fit for you.
