Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Adam Luke M.A. LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have never heard a pick-up line that focused on, “Hey, I don’t suppose you’d want to come spend the best part of your life with me as we argue, resent, and slowly hate each other until one of us dies, do you?”
How the heck did we get here? Where it feels like as a couple, we have grown farther and farther apart. Before the communication felt free and lite. But now, whenever I do communicate with my significant other, it’s like I am giving a PowerPoint presentation at a board meeting?
Where did the courtship go? The fun? The spontaneity?
The truth is we fight so hard to build something, to nurture this relationship between us, and then our passions, goals and focuses slowly change. Before, you would drive an hour to see your significant other for 15 minutes. The passion and intimacy in your relationship were present, consistent, and prioritized.
Now? You are lucky to high five before you turn the lights out at night.
Here is what I know about couples: You started off infatuated with each other, pursuing each other. Then life stepped into the gap. We check off boxes in the “where we should be in this relationship” list, and we forget that WE are never done growing in a relationship. Through therapy, we will revisit what it is like to date each other, be nurturing to each other, and find positive ways of communicating with each other and cherishing each other.
Let me be honest; this work is going to be challenging. Our therapy will require commitment to continuing to pursue our spouse. Our work together is going to look like stealing time back for yourselves. It’s going to be prioritizing your mutual happiness over social obligations. It’s going to be *SHOCKER* putting your relationship above those kids you share.
This sounds selfish…
But is it? Is it selfish to have a healthy marriage that blesses your kids? A safe home where you model better communication patterns to the little ears in the house? Is it selfish to have a healthy relationship that encourages others around you to be more intentional about prioritizing those they love in their life?
I hope you know you both deserve to be heard, to be seen, and to be LOVED. Let’s sit down and find that new way forward.
