Many individuals know their marriage, or other primary relationship, is in trouble. They want to call me but aren’t sure if couples coaching (a modern form of marriage counselling) will help. It’s not a sign of failure to seek couples therapy or marriage counselling. In fact, seeking assistance from an expert couples coach is actually a sign of strength. It means you, and/or your partner, cares enough about the quality of your relationship, and its longevity, to seek professional coaching assistance.
And relationship coaching / couples coaching is just what can help get most relationships back on track – in other words, facilitating the couple back to a place of love, harmony and peaceful connection in their day to day interactions. Read on to find out if marriage counselling really works and how couples therapy / couples coaching can help save most marriages or other long-term relationships where both partners want to save their marriage.

Does couples therapy or marriage counselling really help a relationship?

 

There are some requirements, of course, that make your chances of success with marriage counselling or couples coaching more likely. And there are some conditions that make couples therapy more challenging, but even those can be overcome with the right approach, attitudes and intentions. So in this blog, I’m going to go over what types of relationships will benefit from a Master Couples Coach approach to getting back to love and harmony versus heading for a breakup or divorce.  Reading time: 3 minutes.
  • Yes, evidence-based relationship coaching (marriage counselling or couples therapy) – with the right coach or marriage counsellor – can do a lot to help you and your partner heal, repair and recover the best parts of your relationship together.
  • Not only can coaching sessions help you resolve long-standing conflicts or differences (in most cases), couples coaching sessions can bring committed couples back to:
    • caring and sharing their lives in the way they did before things went wrong
    • whether what went wrong was a sudden change or, as for many couples, something that happened over time
    • even if one of you (or both) has had an affair or other major interruption to your long-standing relationship
    • using empowering and insight-gaining couples coaching techniques that bring love, light, fun and insight back into your relationship

Yes, there will also be tears and fears…that’s normal. But I am an empathetic, expertly skilled coach and I promise you a relaxed, caring environment with a gentle but honest approach that saves you years of time in counselling, and I aim to get you and your partner back to love as quickly as possible – no matter what the problem.

Benefits of Couples Coaching with a Master Couples Coach

So how do you know if you need me, for coaching you through a difficult spell in your primary relationship? Here are questions couples can ask themselves before deciding to contact me for assistance to repair and revive their intimate relationship and/or save their short-term or long-term marriage when the marriage, or one of the partners, is in strive or not sure who to turn to for help.

Questions for couples considering couples therapy or marriage counselling

  • is your marriage in crisis and you don’t know who to turn to?
  • you feel you’ve screwed up …maybe you cheated once or had a longer term affair, or done something else harmful to the relationship
  • but you don’t know how to repair the hurt and restore trust and you know you need to do this quickly as it’s going downhill and getting worse every passing hour/day, week or month
  • in terms of your relationship, are you constantly asking yourself (or thinking), “how did we get to this? We were so in love when the relationship started…or for the first 2 to 10 years.”

You’re not alone if your relationship is in trouble. Most long term relationships experience points of crisis or grief related to misunderstandings, affairs, financial changes, boredom, illness or other interruptions that harm that positive connection and loving engagement.

Help from an expert Master Coach would certainly be worth exploring, before giving up or heading for a separation or going through an acrimonious divorce.

And in my experience as a relationship coach (Couples Master Coach), I find my educational couples programs have a very high success rate for couples who, deep down, really don’t want to see their marriage end. Or worse yet, continue to live in a hostile, distant, soul-destroying or emotionally-damaging relationship.

Who I can help as a Couples Coach?

  • Couples where an affair has just been discovered yet you want to stay together – or you are unsure whether you want to stay together
  • Couples who are unsure if they can get through the pain when one of you wants out
  • Couples who have broken up but still want to be together and don’t know how
  • Couples who have broken up but are not sure if they want to be together anymore

  • Couples co-existing miserably

Who is more challenging to help by couples therapy (master couples coaching methods)?

  • Those who are not open to listening, not prepared to open up to a better way
  • Couples where one or both don’t want to stop fighting
  • Couples where the cheating partner will not stop the affair
  • Couples where the controlling partner is physically abusive or violent
  • Couples where one or both partners really loves the drama of relationship difficulty more than they do finding love again (but if this is your style, you can always book a private coaching session to try to find out why this is your style and what you can do to change it, before you work on your key relationship)
