Asking this question is a great start. Often the first step is in acknowledging the difficult and vulnerable place where your marriage is today. It can be a hard step, but an essential one towards healing and restoration.
At Marler Counseling, we understand that couples face challenges. We're here to support you in overcoming those challenges and building a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.
What is Couples Counseling?
Couples counseling is a type of therapy that can help couples improve their communication, resolve conflict, and build a stronger bond. It can be helpful for couples who are experiencing a variety of challenges, including:
Communication problems
Conflict
Infidelity
Parenting issues
Blended family issues
Premarital counseling
Likely, each of you have opinions about what is causing your difficulties and how these should be addressed and who should be addressing what! Most often these opinions form the basis of an endless cycle of blame and withdrawal that perhaps even prevents you from agreeing to seek marriage counseling. It will probably come as a relief to know that our unique approach to marriage therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, is non-pathological.
Our Approach to Couples Counseling
We use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a proven-effective approach that helps couples identify and address the underlying emotional issues that are contributing to their problems. EFT is a collaborative and blame-free approach that helps couples develop a deeper understanding of each other and build a more secure and loving relationship.
This is fancy term to say that we do NOT place the blame for the marital difficulties on either partner. EFT research has shown that couples get into very predictable cyclical patterns that perpetuate blame and withdrawal. We join with you to help you identify these patterns and de-energize these cycles and establish a new dance of intimacy, love and support. We have good news for you – this cycle is the enemy – not your partner!

After acknowledging the need, the next step is to find a good marriage counselor who is a good fit with you and who is offering a proven approach for marriage therapy. At Marler Counseling, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is what we use. EFT is a proven therapeutic approach with 30 years of outcome based research showing its efficacy at helping couples restore the love of their marriage in such a way that has been shown to last long after therapy ends. New healthy patterns of relating established through EFT have been shown to still be present years after the therapy is finished. To explore the fit, give us a call to schedule a session.
But, are we too far gone? It feels like all the love, safety and spark that once existed are gone.
When destructive cycles take on a life of their own and are perpetuated day-after-day, year-after-year the emotional toll can be huge and it can feel like that original spark is irrecoverable.
In marriage counseling, after we have helped you disarm these destructive cycles, you begin to feel empowered as a couple and safety returns to the relationship. With safety and teamwork restored a whole new vista of possibilities emerges – including the possibility of not only getting that spark back but also establishing a secure depth to the relationship that perhaps never existed. Give us a call today to schedule a session. That is the first step to regaining that spark.
