Is couples therapy for us ?

The first step toward real change is never taken without doubts. 
And when that step is about to be taken by two people, together, 
those doubts are multiplied by two.

Is this the right approach for us?
Are our problems too big to overcome?
Will this just turn out to be another one of our failures?
Do we really need to try to change; won’t time take care of things?

Let’s go straight to the most important: "Won’t time take care of 
our problems?

The easy answer to that one is: "Sure." If you wait long enough, 
the time will come when you have no problems with your partner – 
you will have no partner! But the truth is that too many people 
wait far too long before tackling their problems. By the time they 
seek help they have experienced so much unhappiness and 
hopelessness in their relationship that they have drifted far apart. 
It’s become a habit for them to blame and accuse each other for 
the failures they experience.
So don’t wait. Act now.

Remember: doubt and fear go hand in hand with growth and change.
"Have we already waited too long? Are our problems too big to 
overcome?" While there’s no easy answer to that one – if you’re 
looking for a way to come closer together, you’ve already got a 
whole lot going for you. Sure, you could break up. But unless you 
want to spend the rest of your life alone, the future will probably 
find you in another relationship – with the need to readjust to yet 
another person. With better results? Not if you haven’t found out 
how to solve your problems with this one!
We believe that if basic mutual caring exists, your relationship is 
worth fighting for.

Couples therapy is not a set of specific instructions on what to do 
or not to do, in order to attain a particular vision of blissful harmony. 
It is an experimental collaboration with a therapist. A joint effort to 
find your own particular way of attaining happiness. 
The way which is right for you alone.

In couples therapy the aim is to attain equilibrium and a balance 
between the individual’s need and desire for growth and development 
and the couple’s goals and visions for a future together.

Couples therapy holds a promise of increased awareness and greater clarification of issues as well as a new orientation towards a happy 
and giving relationship.
