Couples

Are You and Your Partner Struggling With Conflict and Disconnection?

• Does it seem as though intimacy, passion and care have faded from your relationship?
• Are you and your partner finding yourselves in the same circular arguments, leaving you both feeling unheard and misunderstood?
• Do you avoid bringing up important topics because you fear they will cause an argument?
• Has an affair or another breach of trust caused a schism in your relationship?
• Are career, financial or family stresses creating tension and distance between you and your partner?
• Do you feel happy in your relationship, but want to continue nurturing the healthy foundation you share, especially if you are preparing for marriage?
• Do you wish you could learn positive ways to communicate, reconnect and fall in love with your partner again?

Navigating relationship issues can be disheartening and isolating. You may feel as though you don’t have anyone you can talk to about these relationship problems, especially if you and your partner share friend groups or feel embarrassed or guilty about the fractures in your relationship. It might seem as though no one can offer the nonjudgmental, unbiased insight you need to resolve conflicts and move forward in a way that supports you both.

Or, if you and your partner are doing well and envisioning your life together, you may wish to further develop your communication skills so you can continue to operate as a loving team, regardless of what challenges arise.

Whether you’re in the midst of a painful period in your relationship, or you wish to prepare for the future, you might wonder what you can do to build the satisfying, lasting relationship you long for.
