Do you feel distant from your spouse? So often, we see couples who were once deeply in love slowly and unintentionally drift apart. The closeness that compelled the couple to get married is now gone when children, careers and life entered the family. The couple no longer feels the love they once felt, but are existing as roommates in their busy worlds.
Marriage doesn’t have to feel that way. Using evidence-based practices, you can rekindle the love you once felt for your spouse. Jerred uses techniques and teaches skills based on over forty years of research from couples who have great marriages. He has received training from the Gottman Institute, which is the world’s most researched training center. Jerred teaches you skills in communication, conflict and everyday interactions that help you thrive in your marriage long after you’ve left therapy.
You can reawaken the love you had for each other. You don’t need a referee, you need someone to come alongside you and help you learn new skills and remember what you did that helped you fall in love. Just like couples grow apart, you can grow together again. Take a step today to improve your marriage. Contact us if you have any questions or would like to book a session today.
Common questions from married couples
My spouse and I have had lots of conflicts lately, can you help our marriage?
Most couples in therapy have experienced frequent and intense conflict. They have also considered divorce or separation in the last week. The important step is to stop repeating hurtful interactions and do something different. Therapy is a great step in taking a step to improve your marriage.
There has been an affair in our relationship. Is there hope for us?
Yes, there is hope. As long as both spouses are willing to continue the marriage, trust can be rebuilt and commitment restored. It will take work, but we see marriages restored on a regular basis.
I’m not sure if my spouse will join me for marriage therapy. Can I come alone?
It’s totally fine to do individual counseling, but it’s hard to do marriage counseling with just one partner. Spouses should proceed with caution. We have discovered marriage therapy with one partner can be detrimental to the marriage. As one partner improves, they often feel resentful of the spouse who doesn’t change. Jerred encourages the willing partner to encourage their spouse to try attending one session. Taking it one week at a time takes the pressure off of a long-term commitment to therapy.
