Counselling for someone struggling with their marriage
Are you looking for help with problems in your marriage? Ronnie Adamowicz at Marriage Counselling Melbourne provides an experienced, empathetic approach to assist you in constructively working through the issues that have come between you and your spouse.
Every marriage hits a few bumps in the road and some difficult times. But when the tough stretches become longer than the good ones, or the crises too frequent or intense, it is best to address the underlying issues promptly. Marriage counselling has helped millions of people to get their partnerships back on track and to reach a better understanding of themselves in the process.
Ronnie is a professional psychotherapist, counsellor, life coach, and wellness coach. While he does not offer couples counselling, he is available for counselling to individuals who are looking to discuss their marital problems in a safe space. If you are unmarried but in a relationship, Ronnie offers relationship counselling as well. With his help, you will find effective strategies for coping with marital stress and working out problems.
Barriers to a successful marriage
Lack of communication
As the French writer Andre Maurois noted, “A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.” This definition contains the secret to a great marriage: good communication. You need not always be chatting with your spouse or seeing eye to eye, but you should remain open to sharing thoughts and feelings. If one spouse shuts down that free exchange, the relationship suffers great harm. Fortunately, counselling provides strategies and techniques for reopening channels of communication that have closed due to traumatic events or simply the passage of time.
Intimacy problems
A good counsellor will help you explore the reasons you may be experiencing a lack of intimacy, whether emotional or sexual. Sometimes the issues are of physical origin, such as differing levels of desire or capability; or they may stem from emotional wounds, including previous negative experiences with the spouse or even in childhood or adolescence.
Conflicting moral, religious, political, or lifestyle views
When a couple marry, they promise to stay together through thick and thin, but that promise does not guarantee they will always agree. Differences can be a plus and keep the marriage interesting. But when the differences become divisive, you have a problem. Additionally, a spouse may feel afraid to challenge a more dominant partner. In a healthy relationship, spouses respect each other’s views even if they do not share them.
Divorce
Whether you are trying to save your marriage, contemplating divorce, or dealing with the aftermath of divorce, marriage counselling can be immensely helpful. You feel supported in the process, and you will benefit from the counsellor’s expert insight.
Finances
Arguments over money can seriously fray the marital relationship. Often, these arguments are the result of deeper conflicts within the marriage. Through marriage counselling with Ronnie, you will learn how to deal effectively with financial conflicts in your marriage.
Childrearing
Conflicting approaches to raising children can be destabilizing to a marriage. A good counsellor will help you discern a path for parenthood that balances parental expectations.
Extended family tensions
What if you don’t get along with your in-laws? Common familial problems like that can pose significant challenges to any marriage. Ronnie can help you address them.
Intimidation or abuse
Spousal intimidation or abuse sometimes goes unchecked because it occurs in the privacy of the home. If you are experiencing intimidation or abuse by your spouse, don’t delay in getting help from a professional counsellor.
