MARRIAGE COUNSELLING

A marriage is like a House. When a light bulb burns out, you do not go & buy a new house, you fix the light bulb.

Often, we hear from couples they are in despair; frightened that their relationship is beyond help. Their communication has broken down, trust has eroded and physical relationship is near non-existent. We also frequently see fundamentally strong couples that may be facing a specific crisis and want the aid of a professional.
Couples desperately want to heal their relationship, both for their sake and their children's, but they do not understand their partner's point of view and rarely understand how their own actions contribute to conflicts.

How To Make Your Relationship Stand The Test Of Time

Each day, we have the opportunity to make our relationships even stronger than they were the day before. Sometimes all it takes is a slight change in our behaviour to make our partner feel more loved, more heard, and more accepted. We@ BUY HURDLES suggests few simple things that can bring back the spark and make all the difference in your relationship.

  1. Take that extra step
    If you notice that your partner is particularly busy, take the extra step to make his or her life easier. Maybe cleaning dishes isn't normally your chore but if you see your partner barely has had time to breathe, make an exception and tackle that sink full of dirty plates when your maid in on leave.
  2. Never stop dating.
    Between jobs, kids, friends and housework, our lives can get pretty full. Instead of making your marital life a routine time table, figure out one day in a month when you both can leave your kids with your parents or with a relative (if possible), take a leave from office and go out with your wife or husband to watch a romantic movie or for long bike ride.
    Make sure the activity is capable of steering your minds away from topics like EMI's, bills, kid's education, in-laws and obligations. These dates are great times to check in about how a person has been feeling, talk about mutual interests, or experience something completely new.
  3. Remember the power of touch.
    So many couples have tendencies to stop touching each other daily that displays GENTLE care and love, especially when their marriage gets 10-15 years old or when their kids grew up.
    Never stop hugging, holding hands, and placing your arm round the partner's shoulder. No matter what is the age of your marriage.
