Even the happiest marriages or relationships can hit a rough patch at some point. But when you’re no longer able to work through the difficulties yourselves, then it might be time to enlist the help of a highly trained therapist at Potter Counseling and Consulting. Our marriage and family therapists in Durham provide the tools to help you work to resolve your differences and move beyond the conflict in a safe and caring environment.

Relationship Problems 

While each couple’s situation is different, there are often common friction points when it comes to relationship issues that couples counseling or marriage therapy can help address, including but not limited to: 

  • Fighting about money  
  • Children and parenting differences 
  • Poor communication
  • Jealousy and infidelity
  • Selfishness
  • Differences in values

Couples often seek couples therapy when the relationship is at a standstill, and unsure whether the relationship is worth saving. There might be resentment, withdrawal, no physical intimacy, and a communication breakdown. When a relationship shows signs of addiction, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and/or severe depression, seek guidance from a couples counselor immediately for your safety and your partner’s.
