Relationships are hard. There are probably many things you love about your partner, yet there are also things that drive you crazy. You want the positive things to get better and the negative things to subside. You want to feel as though your wants and needs matter. You want to be heard. You don’t want to feel so frustrated anymore. You want to feel connected. Challenges and struggles come with relationships because of how much you care about one another. Couples counseling is a process in which you are making a commitment to discuss all topics, identifying areas of difference, and determining which compromises both partners are willing to make in order to continue building strength in the relationship.
