WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!
When a marriage or relationship is in TROUBLE, often couples wait too long before they decide to see a marriage counselor.
I'm here to tell you...
THERE'S GOOD NEWS ....
It's never to late !!!
All you have to do is be willing to truly wanting to restore the love that was once there.
Your responsibility is giving your marital counseling TOP PRIORITY by attending scheduled sessions consistently without interruption. Absences and rescheduling diminish the focus and intensity that is essential and critical.
Unfortunately statistical studies reveal that the average couple, whether married for 6 months, 5 years or 25 years, stays in counseling for only 3 sessions and never returns!
Gaps in attending regularly as scheduled diminish the consistency to reach your goal.
Sometimes individuals and/or couples are not fully and totally committed to the professed desires of healing the marriage. They allow other priorities to keep them from the primary goal of resolution and restoration.
Often, the process may invoke emotional pain and rather than work through the difficult moments, they abort the counseling. Following major surgery, the patient goes through the healing and recovery process with the pain at its worst and the patient wonders, "Why did I go through this?" But, when the healing is complete and their health is restored, THEN one is grateful that he/she endured the procedure.
The same holds true for marriage counseling.
The Good News: If you commit to your sessions you are much more likely to succeed in your efforts to restore your relationship!
Consistent, Committed, Counseling Counts!
YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS: Usually it is not until the relationship has ended - by separation or divorce - that the emotional hurt intensifies and the reality of a lost mate or of a significant other begins to take hold!
It is not unusual for clients to have remarked, with the wisdom of hindsight, I wish I had really worked to save my marriage."
Not when both parties are willing to re-examine and try, it is never too late!
Divorce is costly! In the case of marriage or relationships with financial involvement, the separation or divorce will often involve legal fees of a substantial nature. A typical divorce that is contested and goes to trial can involve fees of $50,000 to $100,000 or more!
YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS: Even if one of you decide to try counseling and one of you is involved in an affair with another person it is not necessarily to late to redeem the marriage.
Finally...
THE BEST NEWS:
YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:The odds are always in favor of those who try and have faith in possibilities. People take part in raffles and lotteries even though the odds are often millions to one. But there is always that one winner!
Regardless of the outcome You will ALWAYS retain what was learned and you will ALWAYS come out in some aspect as a WINNER!
