Christian Couples Counseling

Ken created a Bible based method that couples can use to break up the hardened perceptions they have created of each other. It has worked magnificently to help partners see God leading in each of their lives and together as a couple. Partners can learn helpful communication and response techniques to meet their needs within a faith-based framework. Couples will learn to be intentional and committed to creating and sustaining their intimate connection. They will also explore ways to develop curiosity, discovery, play, and fun within the relationship. In these couples’ sessions, we will address the following topics:

Meeting Each Other’s Needs

Sometimes one partner continually meets the other’s needs while neglecting their own, hoping for reciprocation. Although well-intentioned, this is unsustainable and can lead to resentment. When both partners’ needs are met, contentious attitudes dissolve, and the couple can unite as a team.

Relationship Communication

Long-term relationships can lead to scripted communication, where partners repeat the same patterns and expect different results. Through mindful words and language patterns, partners can effectively reduce tension and minimize emotional reactivity. Learning to approach challenging issues with empathy and responsiveness fosters an atmosphere of love and respect.

Love & Respect

In intimate relationships, traditionally, men respond more to respect, and women to love. Although love and respect are essentially one, they are expressed differently. If a man withholds love unless he feels respected, and his wife withholds respect unless she feels loved, they reach an impasse. This issue is central to many relationship challenges. Couples’ sessions help partners grow individually and as a couple, establishing a process to address inevitable challenges beyond therapy.

Couples’ therapy can help couples overcome obstacles to a fulfilling relationship. Finding ways to unite as a team increases positive feelings between partners. Showing compassion to one another instills confidence that both are invested in supporting each other emotionally and physically. Many couples enjoy the therapeutic journey of becoming more self-aware and assertive. Christian Couples Counseling helps partners objectively navigate challenges and maintain relationship health, guided by faith and love.
