Fall back in love with your partner: You hear those hated words, “I’m not in love with you.” Or maybe your partner thought they made it a little easier for you by saying, “I love you but I’m not in love with you.” Or…maybe the things they said were blunt and hurtful.

Attending Marriage Counselling When you have a problem in your life you work out what your doing wrong, come up with a solution and you try and fix it yourself or seek assistance. What I find in the couples I have worked with is when there are problems in the marriage generally each partner blames each other and waits for the other to change. This waiting and blaming is very destructive to yourself and your marriage. Each of you needs to take responsibility for the problems and aide in the solutions. Common relationship problems include: • Sexual issues • Different … Read More
