I am an experienced couples and relationship counsellor having trained with Relate in 2008.
A common misconception is that couple counselling is only for people who have problems in their relationship.
Although it's true that many couples only address counselling when their situation has become serious, working on skills with your partner like communication, conflict resolution and intimacy when your relationship is strong is just as important as building on those skills when times are tough.
If you compare your relationship to a beautiful, healthy plant, you wouldn't just water it when the leaves are wilting. The right position in the house, regular feeding and attention will keep your plant healthy for a long time and you will see it grow and flourish over the years.
“We expect one person to give us what once an entire village used to provide, and we live twice as long.”
