Marriage counseling for Seattle and Eastside Couples

Are you wondering what happened to
your emotional connection?

Do you feel more like roommates than lovers? Even though your marriage looks great on paper? You’re probably trying to create a marriage no one taught you to have. Increasingly, a marriage that’s just functional is no longer our definition of success.

We hear a lot of alarm bells about marriage being in crisis. It's not in crisis—it's at a crossroads.

Marriage is being redefined from an economic institution to an emotional connection. We long to be known and accepted at our core. To know our marriage is where we turn for support, comfort and to fulfill our cherished desires. Not just in the honeymoon period but throughout the life of our marriage.

The real news of our day is how much we believe in marriage for its own sake. And how we’re recommitting to making it work. That's why the divorce rate has dropped by 1/3 since 1981. Not that it’s easy. To build a solid emotional connection—and keep it going—takes a high level of relationship skill.

We're demanding more of our marriages, and that means marriage demands more of us.

I’ve been a marriage counselor in the Seattle area for 12 years and I’m an expert at building that connection.
