Common Relationship Issues
Of course, it is normal for relationships to have their ups and downs throughout the years. Some days you’re living in peace and harmony, while at other times it may seem like you argue over everything.
Even little disagreements can take their toll over time, but some couples still brush them off because their relationship has otherwise been satisfactory. But why wait until things get worse?
Our highly skilled couples and marriage therapists have truly “heard it all.” Over time, they have come to recognize trends in the disagreements of many married couples. Some of these common issues include:
- Concern that a partner has been or may be unfaithful
- Short tempers, aggression, or anger towards a spouse or child
- Struggling to communicate effectively with one another
- Disagreements about how to raise or discipline children
- Worry about spending habits, debt, and budgeting
How Can Couples Therapy Help?
While the mental health professionals at Thriveworks in Nashville, TN have come to understand that spouses from all walks of life can have similar disagreements, they also know that no two couples are ever the same. You can expect highly personalized, attentive support for whatever challenges you’re facing.
At Thriveworks Counseling in Nashville, TN, we can also help with more unique situations, including:
- Therapy for couples with a partner who has come out as transgender
- Disagreements over addictions to video games, shopping, or gambling
- Anxiety over new or unusual sexual preferences
- Stress about raising children when spouses come from two different religions or cultures.
Why Try Couples Counseling?
Are you still not sure whether seeing a counselor is the right choice for you and your partner? Here are a few points that you may want to keep in mind when deciding whether to pursue therapy:
- Professional counselors are experts at helping you move ahead when you feel stuck, making counseling an effective option for couples who know what’s wrong, but not how to fix it
- Regardless of the outcome, participating in counseling is wise if you feel you want to give your relationship another chance
- Therapy can help you and your partner develop better problem solving and communication skills as individuals, as well as a couple
- Participating in counseling can aid you in gaining a deeper understanding of who your spouse truly is and what motivates him or her
We wholeheartedly believe in, and have seen the benefits of, couples attending couples therapy and marriage counseling. However, we also recognize that sometimes divorce truly is the best option. Despite your best intentions, when you said “I do,” or active participation in therapy, it is possible you may realize that separating is healthy for you both.
