When is the right time to get Marriage Counseling?

 When should a marriage or couple get marriage counseling?

At Hope Relentless we say today is always a great day to seek counsel.  Our heart and passion is to work with couples both in easy and difficult seasons.  Professional athletes all have coaches. Not because they don't know what they are doing, but because they know encouragement, accountability, and a plan will help them perform at their best.  Coaching or counseling is a sign of wisdom, strength, and the recognition that experienced counsel can have a profound impact on our life and our most important relationships. Marriage counseling is a powerful and important part of a healthy marriage.

It is hard to make decisions that will radically improve our lives. We must have an inner conviction and courage to follow through with those convictions. We need cheerleaders, encouragers who will help us make those tough decisions. Your marriage counselor can play a key role in helping you and your spouse find the break through you have been looking for.

It is all about asking the right questions. A marriage and family counselor will often ask specific questions as a way to identify problematic areas of your relationship. Whether you are a newlywed or working on your 50th anniversary, there is always room for improvement. Some days will be much easier than others. It is these ups and downs in your relationship that can strengthen your marriage.  When working with a qualified marriage counselor they can show you how to see strength and hope in both the easy and the difficult seasons of life and marriage.

Famous marriage psychologist John Gottman has taught on the reality of perpetual problems.  Some problems are not easily solved.  When this is the case the focus is how we interact with our spouse, the environment we create.  When a solution does not seem to be available, healthier marriages focus on how they treat each other and what they can each do to maintain open forms of communication.  When working with Hope Relentless Marriage counselors, they will provide couples with practical and useful tools to assist them is these types of conversations.

How does Marriage Counseling work?

In its simplest form marriage counseling is a conversation.  A marriage counselor will ask questions and provide tools and tips for the couple to navigate the current season of life they are in.  Hope Relentless focuses on encouraging and equipping couples for every season of life.


After several initial meetings where the primary issue has been resolved then we will shift our focus over to building a strong foundation for your relationship. This foundation will provide stability to face the up and downs or life. We typically recommend 12 sessions.  This allows new habits to be formed.  12 weeks will go by fast, but it will also have a significant impact on the overall health of the marriage.
