The Excellent Marriage believes that marriage counseling or marital counseling can benefit all married couples. Our ultimate goal for marital counseling is to help couples develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other and to strengthen their bond. Marital counseling can be beneficial for couples at any stage of their relationship, whether they are newlyweds or have been together for many years, or have a rocky patch in their married life.

Marital counseling is one of the most favorable gifts you can give to your marriage. Whether you are a disconnected couple or a couple where everything is going well, our services can help you. During marital counseling, couples may explore a range of topics, including communication, trust, commitment, finances, parents, and any other areas of married life. We help them identify patterns, behaviors, and other factors that may be contributing to the conflicts in the relationship. Take a look at the success stories of our clients here.

Let The Excellent Marriage assist you in having a marriage that goes beyond your dreams. Begin your journey by scheduling one of the available options below today. 

Marriage Maintenance

Some couples believe that marital counseling is for the couple nearing divorce. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. We encourage couples to give to their marriages even when they consider things to be going well. So many factors can contribute to a disconnect between the best marriages.

The marriage maintenance option is best suited for the couple whose marriage is going well but who desire more. This option is for the couple wanting to get the most out of their marriage or prevent it from deteriorating. Together we will tackle any problems between maintenance visits. The goal is to infuse the marriage with all the fruit to have a long-lasting marriage.

Maintenance visits are typically not weekly but held as needed or periodically, such as monthly, quarterly, or twice a year.

Troubled Marriage

When the marriage is not going as hoped or separation/divorce may be imminent, this option may be best. Couples best suited for this option have experienced some sort of disconnect that may have led to communication problems or an affair. Our primary goal while providing relationship counseling is to repair what caused the disconnect. After the repair process, our marriage counselor will begin moving the marriage back to a maintainable state, if desired.

This option requires more of a commitment, especially if the possibility of divorce or an affair occurs. Periodic visits in the midst of a problematic marriage wouldn’t be sufficient. Weekly visits or more are suggested during this stage. The commitment is necessary and will be less painful, especially financially, than the cost of divorce. According to Forbes, the cost of divorce is between $15,000 and $30,000.

The Excellent Marriage also provides options for couples desiring to enhance their marriage with new ideas and concepts. From the latest workshops to retreats, The Excellent Marriage has what you need. The enhancement offerings differ, but at the foundation level, you will learn effective ways to communicate, how to be heard and understood, resolve conflict, and increase connection and intimacy.
