Marriage counseling requires commitment and the drive of both individuals involved to improve the relationship. Learning to request closeness rather than resorting to criticism and blaming is key to a new beginning in a troubled relationship. Learning to communicate our most vulnerable emotions with our significant other allows us to experience the joy of healthy attachment and closeness. Understanding how one’s own negative behavior contributes to the destructive patterns in a marriage relationship becomes a tool from which the couple can work together in an effort to start down a path of healing and increased relationship satisfaction.
