The Benefits of a Good Relationship
As human beings we are naturally drawn to seek out others to be in relationship with. Good relationships with family, friends as well as that significant, special someone have a marked positive effect on our emotional well being. The vast majority of people rate being happy in a relationship over income when it comes to having a happy, fulfilling life.
Our relationships can play a crucial part in our physical health too. People in happy, long term marriages or relationships are less likely to suffer from depression, stress or anxiety and may have stronger immune systems.
Few relationships or marriages run smoothly all the time however and most of us will experience at least one very difficult or challenging phase.
Why Does it Go Wrong?
There can be an obvious trigger, such as infidelity, post-natal depression or a job change impacting now on your relationship.
Sometimes a single trigger is difficult to pinpoint. For example it may have been wonderful right at the beginning of your relationship, with regular texting, spending time talking late into the night, and the feelings of closeness and connectedness happy couples experience, however six months or two years later you can find yourselves locked in a destructive cycle of arguments which seems impossible to break and you are not sure as to why.
For some of us, the challenging phase comes after several or many years of being in relationship or married. We gradually notice we are no longer happy with our relationship and feelings of loneliness, a loss of sexual desire, an inability to communicate any more have set in
Pressures on a Relationship
Unresolved angry feeling and resentments can build up and really poison a marriage. Even though it may not be obvious at the time any life change such as moving to a new area, the birth of your baby, or retirement can all deeply effect a relationship and trigger difficulties later on.
Although the divorce rate has lessened overall in the UK more recently, the statistics are still very high, and 47% of first marriages breakdown, but surprisingly 57% of second and subsequent marriages breakdown. Most people who divorce later say they wish they had worked harder at saving their marriage, although, of course, there can be compelling reasons why leaving a relationship is the best answer.
Have You Considered Counselling?
Your relationship may not be meeting your needs at the moment, but are you sure that it is beyond repair? People often find themselves going over the same ground with their partner, and can end up believing that the only choices available are to carry on accepting things or to leave the relationship.
Counselling gives you:- the opportunity to consider fresh perspectives,
- learn effective ways of getting your needs met,
- and explore creative compromises.
You have probably put many years of effort into your relationship; counselling can help you protect that investment.
Would Your Relationship Benefit from Counselling?
Most people experience problems with their relationships from time to time. Sometimes we need a trained, neutral third party to help us unravel issues.
Counselling starts with an initial consultation; this is an opportunity for you to meet with the counsellor and discuss your needs and expectations. Together,you can then decide whether counselling is the best way forward for you. If you decide to proceed you will also agree your goals and outline the focus of your counselling sessions.
Before opening my private counselling practice, I trained and worked at Relate (Marriage Guidance),and have worked with many couples and individuals. You can be assured of a confidential and professional service.
