Misunderstandings and arguments can often take control over our relationships. Being in a relationship is sometimes hard and can often take a lot of work. Communicating and understanding each other is often easier said than done.

Do we really need couples counseling?

There are many reasons a relationship fails, here are some common signs your relationship is in dangerous waters:

  • Communication issues

  • Frequent and hurtful fights

  • Intimacy troubles

  • Infidelity  

  • Lack of quality time

  • Money matters

  • Feelings of boredom within the relationship

  • Emotional neglect

  • Different goals/expectations

  • Uneven division of household chores/responsibilities

  • Problems related to social media

While every relationship experiences its ups and downs a relationship that is experiencing more downs than ups is often in trouble and in need of assistance. Are you lost for words when people ask how your relationship is going? Have you not been happy in your relationship for a while?

Do you have trouble remembering the last time you were intimate with your partner? Is there a lack of trust within your relationship and/or has this trust been broken? Are you feeling frustrated because you do not feel like you are being heard?
