Relationships are the building blocks of our lives. And like anything important in life, they require thoughtful attention, dedication and work. Each person brings their own ideas, values, opinions and personal history into a relationship, and they don’t always match their partner’s. These differences can help people understand, respect and accept opposing views and cultures. To manage conflicts and stress, couples sometimes turn to couples counseling to help heal the relationship. Therapy assists couples to understand and resolve conflicts and improve their relationship by giving them the tools to communicate better, negotiate differences, problem solve and even argue in a healthier way.
