couple therapy

Money, children and sex are known as the most important factors in marriage and divorce. But no matter how many times and in how many ways you ask your partner whether and when they want to have children or how they are planning to handle their finances, many unpredictable issues will come into play when words are transferred into actions. I think before any of this you should see how you handle your disagreements.

Couples come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing they all have in common is that they will disagree on many issues. That, in my opinion, is the time to pay attention to how well the two function as a couple. The financial status can change, they may face difficulties having children, or their sexual desires may grow apart over time, but if a couple have the means to communicate, there is a much better chance of them getting past barriers only to find themselves in a stronger relationship. So the next time you have a spat, pay more attention to how you resolve it; I promise you will learn a lot about yourself and your partner and how good of a chance you have in succeeding as a couple.
