Safe Journey Counseling: Pre-Marriage    
 Marriage Counseling in Scottsdale, AZ





      Did you know, most couples will spend more time and money planning their
      weddings, than they will planning their marriages. With a divorce rate of 50%
      and above, an economy that is in trouble, couples are facing more challenges
      than ever to preserve their relationship and family. As a relationship counselor,
      a clinical social worker and a mind/body therapist, I work with an enormous
      amount of couples that are at the "end of the line."
      The foundation of the relation is damaged, trust has been broken, the marriage
      is filled with conflict. The stresses of life are none other than triggers that
      continue to add fuel to the fire. It seems most people are so caught up in the
      feelings of love, the excitement of the wedding, the dreams that are about to come true, they spend little time, if any,
      learning skills that will help them bypass the pitfalls that cause marriages to fail. Most couples I see in marriage
      counseling could have avoided the pain and suffering they are going through had they learned some of these skills
      earlier.

      I can not emphasize enough the importance of getting your marriage off to a good start. I am sure that your  relationship  
       already has many strong points to it, but social scientist have studied what causes relationships to last and fail, knowing   
       these skills will surely increase the happiness between you.

      At Safe Journey Counseling I offer a program to teach you these skills. My Program consists of sessions that can              
       either be learned in a couples only setting, or in a group. These topics include:

       1. Strengthening communication.

      2. Deciding on role expectations.

      3. Learning conflict resolution skills.

      4. Child rearing practices.

      5. Identify any problematic family of origin issues.

      6. Develop personal, couple and family goals.














                        The difference between these couples is based on learning
                        useful methods to overcome the obstacles in their life and
                        build a friendship with unconditional love, respect and
                        admiration.

                       If you wish to be part of the 50% of the population that remain happily married,
                      you need to take action. Things will not change by wishing and hoping.
