Every marriage and partnership goes through ups and downs. However, some situations call for extra support from a trained couples counselor. Couples counseling can: improve communication and reduce conflict; bring back the spark when couples feel like "roommates"; blend families after remarriage; and, create amicable co-parenting during a divorce in order to minimize the impact on children.
