Marriage is complicated.  Each of us come into relationships with patterns of attachment from our childhood.  “How” we attach and form relationships is key to understanding the ways we create conflict and distance in our marriage.  The early dynamic of attachment also leads us to patterns of how we create intimacy and security.  For example, often an alcoholic family creates a sense of anxiety and an unpredictable attachment in the children.  Later in life, this could be seen in adults who are very insecure in their marriage relationships.”

Marriage counseling, also called couples therapy, helps couples — married or not — understand and resolve conflicts or improve their relationship. It gives couples the tools to communicate better, negotiate differences, problem solve and even argue in a healthier way, while emphasizing the most important foundation of their relationship: God.
