Calling All Couples!!

This is my plea to any couple that thinks that they may need counseling:

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL IT GETS SO BAD THAT YOU ARE READY TO THROW IN THE TOWEL!!
Sadly, I have come in contact with so many couples in my office whose last ditch effort starts at my door. Usually one of the partners is already emotionally detatched from the relationship and is coming in to appease their spouse. This is NOT the right way to tell your partner that you want to give your last breath to heal your relationship; it's a manipulation.

**IMPORTANT: We use all kinds of defense mechanisms and manipulations when we think we are not capable or allowed to set a verbal boundary about how we feel in the relationship. I understand this fully.

So, my message is this:

PLEASE DON'T WAIT FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO DIE BEFORE YOU TRY TO HEAL IT

SEEK HELP AT THE FIRST SIGN OF UNMANAGEABLE DISCORD

YOUR RELATIONSHIP WILL THANK YOU!
