If you choose to sit with me, we will not be focused in that direction. We won’t be working on a marriage.
We will be focused on the two individuals in the marriage and how each of them can face ways that they are not bringing their best self to their partner.
We will lean into relational health. We will do individual work in the presence of the other. When your therapy is complete you will be proud of how you communicate and who you are because you will be bringing your best self to the other in spite of what your partner chooses. That is all we have control over.
When each partner is proud of their style of relating, the marriage thrives.
You love each other. You just want a tune up because it seems as if the life has taken over and you want to find each other again.
Either of you need to separate emotionally from your family of origin. Then you need to redefine what your relationship with parents will be now that you are a married couple.
You want to build intimacy while at the same time supporting each other’s autonomy. These issues show up over and over again in a marriage and yet particularly at the beginning, at midlife and at retirement.
