Marital counseling is designed to help couples

• Build supportive bonds

• Create or re-create patterns that foster emotional closeness

• Form a family atmosphere where security and partnership is maximized

In difficult times, couples gain security and strength when they can reach out for each other and can acknowledge distress and offer reassurance and comfort.  If couples move “toward” rather than “away” or “against” each other they become stronger.

Successful marital counseling enables couples to bond at a deeper level by becoming more open, flexible, and responsive to each other.
