At Marriage counseling Oakland, we can help you both to understand the challenging management of closeness and distance as a pair. Marriage is a sacred covenant between a husband and a wife, and we uphold the value of your relationship as a couple. The self-impassive pose, may be expressing a cold form of distance, or the supposedly loving constant demand of a spouse not leaving his or her partner a free minute alone, can reflect deep insecurities and dependences. The effect on marriage of either extreme can be devastating. Every human being needs closeness and company, but also everyone must have some air to breath and space to grow.  As the most robust plants can asphyxiate if planted too close, or die from lack of the shadow that they can exchange, so good, solid people can see their marriages fail. Through counseling you can learn the delicate balance and the particular needs of you and your spouse as a whole. With an Oakland marriage counselor in CA, you can learn how, and receive invaluable tools aimed at enhancing and protecting your marriage for decades to come.

About Oakland, CA

Alameda, Pleasantville, Hayward, Fremont, Union City, Livermore

The infrastructure in Oakland is extensive and very effective.  There are several major highways that run through Oakland, including the Nimitz Freeway, the one where the double-deck portion collapsed during the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.  The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge also suffered a partial collapse during the 1989 earthquake.   There are two underwater tunnels, called the Webster and Posey tubes, that connect downtown Oakland with the main island of Alameda.  The mass transit system is very intricate.  Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) runs from Pleasanton to San Francisco with either different stations for commuters.  The bus system is also very convenient serving all over the area.  There is also a ferry system that services the areas from Oakland to Alameda, San Francisco and Angel Island.  The Oakland airport is very convenient to the mass transit, particularly to the AirBART which is linked to the BART system.  Marriage counseling Oakland helps spouses when they desire greater intimacy and love for their relationship.  In essence, you just need to use the mass transit system rather than renting a car to get places. 

The climate in Oakland is fairly mild with Mediterranean-type temperatures, staying fairly even throughout the year. The average temperature runs from record highs of 109 to record lows of 26; however, the temperature averages out to 67 throughout the year.  Oakland’s temperatures are between San Francisco’s and San Jose.  Regardless, Oakland will get the maritime fog since it is situated directly across the Bay from the Golden Gate Bridge, making it cooler in the summer.  Fortunately it is far enough inland that the fog will burn off by midday giving way to sunny afternoons.  The milder temperatures help to make Oakland a favorable place to live, particularly with the redevelopment projects that have been taking place in West Oakland.  Christian marriage counseling Oakland provides hope for couples who may be trying to overcome an affair and safe their marriage.  Part of the redevelopment plan includes having the West Oakland BART station as the center of the village community where there is a good mix of both blue-collar and white-collar workers.  The success of the redevelopment plan is to help with the change the city needs to change their reputation of having high crime rates.
