Creating Relationship for Couples

Do you want your relationship to be the best it can be? But…

• Things used to be great but that feeling has disappeared?
• We used to talk about everything but now I just don’t feel as though my partner is interested?
• Sex used to be passionate and loving but now it feels as though we are just going through the motions, that is, when we can be bothered having sex at all?
• It feels as though we are living separate lives?
• All we have to talk about are the kids?
• I feel as though my partner is constantly criticising everything I do?
• I feel constantly critical of everything my partner does?
• We argue about everything?
• I’m bored in our relationship?
• He/she spends all their time on the computer/watching TV?
• I’m so disappointed in how our life is turning out and I don’t know what to do to change things?
• I’m so unhappy in my relationship but I don’t want to leave..?

How can you change the way your relationship is headed?

Again, none of us learn how to be in a long term committed relationship except by watching the way our parents, other adults and family conduct their partnerships. As we enter our adult emotional commitments, we bring with us those family lessons – whether they are good or healthy lessons or destructive and unhealthy.

Then there’s the sometimes impossible balancing act of work, managing children’s lives, your own health and well being, family and social commitments, let alone finding time for each other.

Most couples who successfully withstand the bumps of life and long term relationships, do so because they’re able to readjust their expectations of their partner and their relationship as they progress through different life stages and transitions.

With relationship coaching/counseling you can:

• Understand which family patterns are appearing in your own relationship and how to create your own healthier patterns and culture of relationship
• Learn new ways to understand yourself and your own reactions and responses within your partnership
• Take responsibility for your own feelings
• Move out of destructive patterns of communication and establish new ways of talking to one another and learn how to fight fairly
• Reconnect with your sexual desire for one another

Creating Relationship for Couples

Creating Relationship is solution focused, practical and supportive of each individual relationships’ needs. It is designed for couples who want to get the best out of the relationship they’re in.

Over six initial sessions I work with couples on a variety of issues including:

• Managing your expectations of each other – what’s too much? Or too little?
• How each partner can maintain a sense of their own individuality while supporting the other’s goals and aspirations;
• How to recognise and understand differences in communication styles and respond accordingly, and respectfully
• How to fight fairly, respectfully and recover quickly from disagreements;
• How to increase self awareness and the ability to be present and attentive to one another;
• Acknowledging anger, fear and resentment in order to undermine their toxic strength;
• Taking responsibility for the self in relationship, and;
• Understanding what can be changed and accepting what can’t be changed
• How taking risks can increase the sense of intimacy, desire and love in your partnership

Relationships are always evolving and changing. With Creating Relationship couples can find the skills and knowledge to experience that evolution as exciting, renewing and full of love.
