Times have changed. As of 2010, the divorce rate climbed to almost 13% in Oregon. Many couples struggle with achieving stability in their marriage; and many give us within a few years. Why are people having so much difficulty? Is there a way to repair a marriage without having to go down the divorce road?
With our marriage counseling, we provide an alternative that can help you mend the wounds of a failing partnership. Our counseling is different; we don’t tell you what is wrong with your marriage. Instead, we allow each partner to view the problems from their perspective and find out what they did to contribute to any difficulties.
By allowing a person to take responsibility for their misdeeds, we achieve greater stability rather than falling into blaming the other partner and repeating the vicious cycle.
Along with our marriage counseling, we recommend taking our life improvement courses concerning maintaining a happy marriage and salvaging a marriage.
What To Expect
When you and your partner come to our center for marriage counseling, you will first be interviewed to gain a better understanding of what issues you are facing in your marriage. Each relationship is different, and we therefore create a tailored program to your situation.
Once your program has been formulated, you will receive couples counseling, in which you and your partner will discuss your issues in a private setting, guided by a trained professional.
The relief available can be enormous in just the first few sessions. A marriage is built upon honesty and compassion, and it sometimes can take several hours to work through your difficulties. However, in as little as 1-2 weeks you can expect to see positive results from your marriage counseling.
Our techniques are different–you don’t do marriage counseling forever, scheduling appointments for years to come. Instead, you work with your counselor to tackle the main issues and with these out of the way you can get a fresh start pave a path to happiness that is long-lasting. Many couples report doing well even years after they have received help from us.
