Couple counselling saved my marriage.

My husband and I have been together 10 years, married 3 and have a toddler.

During our time together we have had some big hurdles, some led me to depression, but all led to a reduced sex life and disappointment from both sides.

Lack of real communication created a rut which neither of could workout how to improve.

We both thought we were happy, not amazing, but happy. Every couple has a downtime right. But over the last few months we have been having counselling and I can tell you it really opened my eyes for the better.

I thought our dry spells were my fault, and he thought he needed support elsewhere, but honestly speaking with a professional has opened both our eyes. We realise that we both brought baggage into our relationship and lack of communication along the way just made things hard.

I regret not starting this sooner.

And I am writing this to tell everyone that no matter what stage you are in your relationship, especially if the struggles of covid have got you in a rut, Invest in yourselves and your relationship and speak to a professional.

Even just helping you better communicate can make a world of improvement.

We are now in a better position than where we first started dating.

I would also recommend scheduling sex. I know it sounds odd, but it is a brilliant idea, especially with kids taking up all your time.

We still have things to work on but I will be happy to spend the next 50 years continuing to do so and couples counseling has really helped that become a possibility.

Seriously, best choice we have made.
