• DO YOU LONG TO BELONG IN YOUR MARRIAGE? DO YOU LONG TO BELONG IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP? Do you wake up in the middle of the night and wonder what has happened? You feel so disconnected. You used to feel you belonged with your partner, but now you wonder. Your disagreements turn into ugly fights or stone cold silences. You don't want to leave and yet it is so painful, it is hard to stay. You don't have a clue what to do. You are not alone.

What I know is that relationship change over time. The first couple of months or years in a relationship can be wonderful. Eventually the power struggle begins because we all have needs that we want met. Frequently we don't seem to know the "right way" to ask our partner to meet these need, and since they don't seem to hear us or want to do these things we ask them for, we feel hurt and angry. It can often be helpful to get some input from a third party who has no agenda for you.

What I do is teach couples who are having a difficult time, to treat each other with dignity and respect. I will teach you to listen to each other, appreciate how each of you is wonderfully unique, and to GET each other. I have been where you are and really want to help you. Don't wait another day.
