You don’t know what to say.
You two could face anything. You used to have all the answers, but now?
“Can this marriage be saved?” This was the title of a long-running column featured in the Ladies Home Journal. Maybe you even read it, but you’d never have thought of asking about yourself.
Lately, though, you’ve been wondering the same thing – not knowing how to answer.
And thinking it says a lot about your relationship.
So much has changed…
Perhaps infidelity has dissolved the bond of trust you once shared and created a chasm between you. When you do speak, everything comes out wrong. Often, you leave important things unsaid and resigned yourself to the void of silence.
Maybe you’re struggling to adjust to the empty nest now that the kids have all graduated and flown. No longer “Mom” and “Dad” or “John’s mom” or “Kathy’s dad,” you’re at a loss to redefine who you are now and figure out what’s next for the two of you.
Or perhaps your parents – the rocks on whom you’ve always relied – are beginning to decline and are relying on you for support. Perhaps they’ve even had to move in with you, and you and your spouse are feeling the strain as you navigate these unsettling, uncertain waters.
Where do you go from here?
Time. Stress. Change. They’ve all taken their toll. And you wonder…
How much longer you can keep going the way things are.
Who you are and who your partner has become.
Whether you can ever get back to what you once had.
I understand.
I know about these things – because I’ve experienced the same myself or helped others in your position.
Wherever you’ve been – wherever you are – you don’t have to figure it out by yourselves.
I can help you figure out your new normal by grieving your losses, identifying boundaries, and assessing where you’ve evolved in your thinking of what a married couple is/does.
Let me sit with you and help you decide what’s best for you and your marriage.
Say YES.
Say yes to couples therapy. Say yes to facing one more challenge together. Say, “Yes, it can.”
There is a way forward. There is a way, not only to save it, but to make your marriage healthier – perhaps healthier than it’s ever been.
So you’re not just surviving – but thriving.
Reach out today – and let’s begin making that answer a reality.
