For couples contemplating divorce, Marriage Quest® creates a safe space to assess your relationship's strengths and weaknesses, empowering you to make informed choices.
Experiencing feelings of being unheard, misunderstood, or dismissed can damage your relationship. At Marriage Quest®, we emphasize foundational communication therapy to guarantee both partners feel heard, understood, and valued. Overcoming communication obstacles is crucial for a successful relationship.
Infidelity, no matter the circumstances, is painful and erodes trust. Surprisingly, around 80% of couples who separate due to an affair later regret their decision. Living without closure and resolution is equally distressing. If you're considering infidelity counseling, you likely desire to repair and understand the root causes. Many couples at Marriage Quest® seek counseling for affair recovery or to make decisions about their marriage post-affair.
In marriage, resentment typically accumulates gradually as a result of unresolved conflicts. The inability to find resolution for disagreements, traumatic incidents, and other tense episodes in your relationship often allows them to linger and worsen over time. Overcoming resentment can be arduous because, after years of conflict or avoidance, these issues tend to interweave with various other challenges within the relationship. Any isolated incident can set off a chain reaction of memories and emotions, making the healing process a complex endeavor.
