Why do we seem to have the same arguments over and over again? How do I know if we are really supposed to be together? Are there things we could be doing to better support each other, to help each other grow and be our best selves? If we really love each other, why do we so often hurt each other? How do I know if this is real love, anyway? Relationships are hard. Even more than desire, they require effort and understanding to make them work. Often, even if two people really love each other, one or both may need help to maintain the right effort or understanding to keep the balance necessary for long-term success. Having outside, objective support can make all the difference.

There are countless models of healthy romantic relationships, from monogamous to polyamorous, and unique variations between partners. The scripts for dating and longterm relationships of our parents’ generations may not be applicable to your relationship, and there is no formal education in how to be a good partner or how to identify unhealthy relationships. But there is psychological research that shows that effective communication, emotional openness, intimacy, and other factors contribute to healthy relationships. Creating these conditions are skills that can be learned. I practice brief humanistic and emotion-focused therapy (EFT) to help my LGBTQ and hetero clients learn these skills.

Relationships can be difficult and challenging yet they present enormous opportunities for growth. As M Scott Peck wrote in The Road Less Traveled, “love is not effortless, to the contrary, love Is effortful”. Rather than Hollywood and media notions of perfect romance, most enduring relationships are made of intentional commitment, respect and ongoing efforts to communicate. Clients find that couples counseling can provide a safe space with a neutral third party who can facilitate constructive conversations to work through difficult issues and patterns, and learn new strategies to increase mutual understanding and the ability to compromise.
