Marriage Counseling Near Rochester & Rochester Hills, MI
The same argument.
A chance to respond differently.
You know how it starts. One of you brings something up, the other feels criticized, and soon you’re arguing about the way you’re arguing. By the end, the original concern is still there—and you feel further apart.
Marriage counseling offers time to understand that cycle and practice different ways to express needs, listen, and repair after conflict.
You can disagree and still want to feel understood.
Maybe one of you pushes for a conversation while the other needs space. Perhaps a concern about money, parenting, or time together quickly becomes a debate over who is right. You may both leave with a list of things you wish you had said differently.
In our 90-minute sessions, we’ll examine specific moments in that pattern and practice skills drawn from Gottman-informed couples work. That may include bringing up a concern more clearly, checking what you heard, recognizing when you need a pause, and returning to a conversation with a plan. We can also address emotional distance, resentment, or rebuilding trust after a hurt.
When ADHD affects attention, planning, or follow-through, we can explore its impact on both partners and discuss practical adjustments. Christian faith can be included when both partners want it.
