The door closes and you can’t stop grinning. The first date was magical. By the second date, you’re brimming with the possibilities of the future.

But then the 10th date comes and go, then the 50th, and the 100th, and now you’ve been with this person for so many years you’ve lost track. Maybe you’ve also lost track of that spark and relationship you’ve dreamed of. All those once endearing traits are now just annoying. And no one can truly anticipate Monday Mornings and late-night finance talks. Real life can suck the magic out of a relationship, and even take away the healthy, functional relationship and replace it with a consuming, unhealthy one.

Does Couples Therapy Work?

Thriveworks Columbus, OH (Polaris) believes yes! Talking through a problem with an outside perspective has numerous benefits. The love you have is probably still in your relationship, just a little covered by all the insecurities, doubts, and arguments. You’ve put a lot of work and emotional investment into this relationship; it deserves the best possible chance to thrive!

Science has shown that in the beginning of a relationship, infatuation is stronger than any hints of deep love that might be forming. There’s nothing wrong with this, as infatuation is natural and healthy. But the surface-level, instinctual-driven infatuation has to move aside for the deeper, long-lasting love to form. When this happens, old habits and annoying routines can show themselves and drive tension into our relationship.

If any of these habits or routines your partner has makes you feel unsafe in anyway, our counselors are a phone-call away to walk with you through possible next steps to keep you safe.

But what if you partner just has some habits that aren’t dangerous, just frustrating or makes you feel unloved, unappreciated, or unrespected? A relationship is meant to build up both partners, so you shouldn’t feel that way all the time! Of course, we will all have those traits that require a little grace, but it doesn’t have to result in long-suffering. With our location convenient to Westerville and Worthington Thriveworks Counseling’s therapists and counselors will walk with both of you to discover the root of the problem and build upward towards a healthier, stronger relationship.

A few of the more common issues Thriveworks Columbus, OH (Polaris) can address include:

The smallest problems can snowball into big disasters, so it’s smart to smooth them out as soon as you catch it. Counseling can help with that. And, if it has already snowballed (at no fault of you or your partner), our Polaris Thriveworks counselors will walk beside you as we deal with even the biggest difficulty.  Sometimes, huge changes need to be made. Occasionally, a couple might agree that it is best to end romantic ties.
