 It’s Time to Call 911 on Your Marriage.

You used to love your spouse, but the love is gone. You tell yourself you’re staying for the kids, but you don’t know if you can make it.

· You want a divorce, or your spouse does

· You can’t communicate without fighting and criticizing each other

· You can’t remember the last time you had sex with your spouse

· You cheated, or your spouse cheated

· Your marriage feels loveless, and you are hopeless

· Your blended families can’t get along

· You don’t know who your spouse is anymore

These are all symptoms of a dying marriage.

If your marriage is flat lining, it’s time for some serious help. That’s what ICU is. An intensive and real intervention where a licensed therapist works with the couple for to derail the crisis.

This isn’t your Mother’s Marriage Counseling

Sometimes marriages “catch a cold”. Something relatively minor, like a communication issue that needs attention. A marriage can even “get the flu” when one partner starts flirting outside the marriage or when an ongoing fight about money can’t get resolved

A course of regular weekly marriage counseling can handle the relationship “colds” and “flu.”

If your marriage is having a heart attack, however, you need to go straight to the “ICU” – Intensive Couples Unification.

We’ll start with one or two emergency sessions, after these two “deep-dive sessions, you’ll have progressed to the point of shorter sessions, spaced out regularly.

Divorce Costs More Than Therapy

You have a lot invested in your marriage. If you have children, then the stakes are even higher.

Before you pay attorneys to tear down the life you’ve built, why not invest in the tools it takes to support and nurture it? Marriage takes work and often you may need new skills when you come up against something you have not had to face before.

No Matter how wronged you feel, the truth is that the issues you are dealing with in your marriage aren’t only your partner’s fault. It’s very possible that you can move on to another marriage and find yourself with the exact same problems.

Your spouse isn’t the “problem”. The way you’ve practiced interacting with each other for years or sometimes months is the real culprit. You can learn a new way.

It happens every day that couples change, grow apart, or hurt each other. And every day, with couple counseling you can heal and love each other again. 

It’s up to you to save your marriage!

That is why a man leaves his father and mother

And is united to his wife,

And they become one flesh.

Genesis 2:4

A proposal was made, the answer was an affirmative yes and the wheels of motion start turning. So many decisions to be made before the big day and probably the most important one is often made as an afterthought…pre-marital counseling.

When most couples come for pre-marital counseling, a decision has already been made to marry. Deposits on venues, caterers, photographers have been transacted, invitations ordered, and planning is underway. The reality about pre-marital counseling is that it should take place before the proposal.

Pre-marital counseling is the very first step, not last item on the checklist of things to do. Pre-marital counseling is to help you make the decision is this the person I should marry. 

At Suddenly! the first step in our pre-marital counseling sessions is that the couple takes an online inventory. The inventory looks at your relationship in 16 different areas determining whether the couple is strong in that area or a growth area. 

The couple receives a feedback report of their results which drives the counseling. Also included is a workbook with exercises and tools that can be used after walking down the aisle. The sessions provide experiential exercises that can be used for a lifetime. Some of the areas looked at include those most relevant to couples: communication, finances, family of origin, parenting, and personality are some. The sessions include assigned readings, exercises, couple discussions and handouts. Upon completion the couple received a certificate of completion that gives a discount on the marriage license.

I have never had a couple that did not benefit from the sessions. Whether it was realizing they needed to wait and many who were very thankful they took the time to invest in the sessions and proceeded to the altar. It is a valuable investment. If marriage is in your future get on the calendar now!
