With Couples Therapy Virginia Beach Relationships Are More Likely To Last

By Steven King


Intimate relationships are intricate and often fraught with dangers. Sadly, far too many people rush into relationships before getting to know their partner and their own needs properly. This often leads to misunderstandings, arguments and even conflict and anger. Experts agree that it is important to be very careful before committing to a relationship. By going for couples therapy Virginia Beach residents can make sure that they are ready to commit to another person.

The very nature of modern relationships have changed. In the past sex outside the marriage bond was forbidden. People did not live together before they got married and a child outside of wedlock was a terrible shame. All these taboos are now gone. Women have their own careers and they take charge of their own bodies. They play a more active role in their relationships and sometimes men find this intimidating.

Many relationships fail because the partnership was formed for the wrong reasons. Some people enter into a relationship to obtain regular sex. Others feel more secure when in a relationship. Yet others need financial security or the social status that a partner offers. It is no wonder that such relationships rarely last. A therapist can help people to identify their own needs and to make sure that they choose a partner that will fulfil those needs.

The breakup of a relationship is almost always accompanied by pain, anger, negative emotions and disappointment. If there are children in the picture, many important decisions need to be made. A therapist can help couples to dissolve their relationship in an amicable manner. Anger and pain simply gets in the way of a mature breakup. The therapist will also help the partners to deal with their negative feelings and to move forward.

Many people enjoy a satisfying and rewarding relationship because they regularly see a therapist. Such people work on keeping their relationships exciting and mutually satisfying. They communicate with their partners and they continually look for ways in which to strengthen their relationships. Statistics clearly show that people that see a therapist regularly even when they do not experience serious problems are much more like to enjoy a long term relationship.

Most therapists agree that the breakdown of relationships can often be ascribed to a lot of little things rather than one major issue. People that do not communicate with each other crop up a lot of small irritations and when they eventually burst out, they see it as a massive problem that cannot be solved. Therapists can help people to communicate effectively and to sort out small, insignificant problems before they become big ones.

In some cases a therapist will advise a patient to get out of a specific relationship. If the other partner is abusive, unable to contribute to the relationship, unwilling to satisfy the needs of the other partner or dependent upon drugs and alcohol then the chances of the relationship surviving are small indeed. It is then best to get out early and to see the failed relationship as a life lesson.

One common denominator of all satisfying relationship is that both partners are willing to work at it. They are willing to give and to take and they will deal with small problems without delay. They communicate and they truly care for each other. A therapist can help them to achieve these aims.
