Couples
Stress and distraction go hand in hand in today's world, and couples find it more difficult to
connect and maintain a level of intimacy conducive to mutual respect and growth in their
relationship.
It is easy to take your partner for granted. Often, it is "just too hard" to do the work required to
hold a healthy relationship together. Many partners feel that they are the one "who does all the
work," and they grow resentful . Resentment leads to contempt and finally disengagement.
When you give up on yourself and your marriage, you are setting yourself up for a life of
disappointment, possible infidelity, or divorce. What can couples do?
Marital Counseling. If you are far off track in your relationship, but you are committed to
making it work, seek help. Ask yourself these 3 questions:
-What am I myself willing to do to be a better partner?
-How will this be hard for me (what do I have to do to/give up)?
-How motivated am I to do this?
