During construction, reduce speed. Seek alternate routes.
The road blocks to making a change are many but not insurmountable:
1. Some people think that entering into therapy is to admit failure.

They come to realize that they must admit to a certain level of failure to learn. And by taking action sooner than later, they avoid a failed relationship and more serious and costly consequences.

2. Some people believe that "if they are having problems now, they should just call it quits and find someone else."

They come to realize that there are therapists with the knowledge and know-how to save relationships.

3. Some may associate a stigma with therapy and think that maybe they will be labeled.

They ask around and realize that everyone needs guidance when it comes to relationships. Relationships are highly complex and needing help is 100% normal.

There are many reasons not to come in for therapy! Perhaps the best reason to not work with a relationship psychotherapist is that you do not want to improve your relationship and increase your happiness.

Couple’s therapy with a trained and licensed therapist that focuses exclusively on relationships is your best bet for helping you improve the skills required for long-term relationship success. And usually the sooner you obtain help, the higher likelihood that your relationship extends into the the next phase successfully.

The skills required for long-term success have not been taught -- not by parents, not by schools and not by companies. So people go to school to learn the fundamentals required for their careers. That leaves 128 hours to eat, sleep and improve the skills required for a happy life and fulfilling relationship.

Marriage is hard. Divorce is harder.
Couples in the first, second or third stage of their relationship will improve on all facets: from communication...to trust, to romance...to sex. Married couples who have been together for many years will reverse negative trends, learn how to forgive each other for past mistakes, focus on behavior and cognitive improvements in the problematic areas. And for couples in which one partner has decided that they want to end the relationship, there are advantages to giving the relationship one last chance. Without making modifications to negative patterns, the individuals often wind up in the same negative cycle in their next relationship in their next relationship.

"Improving communication skills and learning how to resolve differences so that both people are happy with the solution are among the top skill that couples need in order to have a satisfying relationship," says Dr. Gloria Spitalny of Backbaycounseling.com. There are many others.
