Unlock Your Potential with Dr. Randy

Life is an exciting adventure, one of the most powerful aspects of this journey is who we choose to journey with. The meaningful relationships we choose to invest in add so much value to our lives. However, the hopes we start out with at some point along the way will be challenged. We can allow these moments to define us or refine us. 

Choosing refinement means there are 2 people willing to create, sustain and grow the healthy connection. There are times we require the benefit of a relationship professional to help get things back on track and remember why we said YES to this relationship in the first place. 

Marriage counseling can be valuable to any couple that wants to strengthen their connection and quality of communication. Afterall, there is a universal need for all of us to be seen, heard and understood. It can be beneficial throughout a marriage/committed relationship to have support to address the various issues that might occur in life. Life can be complex, so let's check in and aim to simplify so that you can flourish forward no matter what life brings your way. 

This is the stage of the relationship where the couple is eager to consider a deeper level of commitment, when both people can see a future together. Couples have the opportunity to discuss important aspects of their relationship like values, managing expectations and to understand if life goals are aligned prior to a potential engagement. 

A beneficial time to create and problem solve at an early stage in the relationship. 

Building a strong foundation early with your future spouse is essential to a long lasting, healthy relationship. The benefits of couples therapy before marriage are vast and a worth-while investment into the couples future. According to Health Research Funding, ”engaged couples who go through premarital counseling have a marriage success rate 30% higher than couples who don’t seek professional guidance."

Topics may include past issues, a chance to comfortably talk about finances, how to creatively problem solve together and better communicate hopes and desires. 

The more a couple connects on important topics prior to tying the knot, the more practice they have communicating in their marriage and offers a valuable means of investing into your future relationships to instill confidence in the future. 

“Intimacy is what we most long for and what we most fear.”
