Have you considered starting marriage counseling and relationship therapy, but you’re unsure whether it will help your relationship?
If you’re feeling stuck in your relationship you may not have the tools to know how to improve your communication. You may end up shutting down, pursuing, or avoiding expressing your feelings and needs.
All relationships have conflicts. Conflict is an unavoidable part of relationships, but conflict can also help you connect with your partner and increase intimacy in your relationship. When we know how to communicate effectively and negotiate fairly every conflict is an opportunity to become closer to our partner and improve the level of intimacy and connection.
