Marriage Counseling, Couples Counseling, Couples Therapy, Premarital Counseling
Are You and Your Partner:
> Arguing?
> Lacking affection for each other?
> Thinking of splitting up?
We Can Help.
You can reverse these problems. Marriage counseling can help restore your love, passion and romance. The Relationship Center of Michigan offers a number of programs to help couples overcome these problems. These include marriage counseling, couples counseling, groups and seminars.
Marriage counseling and Couples Counseling are for couples who are experiencing problems. But it can also be used by couples who want to "spice up" their relationship. Therapy is time limited and ends when your relationship goals have been met. Of course there are more complex situations (such as infidelity and alcoholism) which take a longer time to resolve.
The Problem
Most often couples trigger each other into repetitive, cyclical arguments which end up in anger, resentment, distance and distrust. It is a maddening cycle which can be triggered by little, unimportant events. But it keeps couples from talking about the things which matter most to each other.
The Solution
We use Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) as our primary method of helping. It helps couples to re-create the trust and closeness they once had for each other. Our goal is to make you “Best Friends” and to achieve a secure relationship with your partner. Click here to find out about the benefits of a secure relationship. Academic studies show that EFCT is one of the most effective types of couples counseling available. Click here to find out more about EFCT.
Our staff is licensed in the State of Michigan and have training in marriage therapy. Unlike some counselors, we do not tell you what is wrong with you or tell you what to think. We are interested in you and want to know what you have to say. We will tell you what we believe is important and of value in any relationship. The responses you receive will actually explain things and help resolve problems conclusively. Nor do we make you feel guilty. Life is not easy. People make mistakes. Our job is help you restore the trust you once had in your partner and help you become "best friends" once again.
Studies show that couples, on average, have serious problems
for 7 years before getting help. Too often they hope things will change until the
situation is so bad that they can’t stand it any longer.
Why stay unhappy and in pain for so long? If you and your partner want
to have more love and intimacy in your relationship, call us now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Length of therapy: Counseling is usually time-limited and ends when your relationship goals have been met. That goal is for each of you to feel close, once again, to each other. There are some more complex situations (such as affairs and alcoholism) which take longer to address. Because we have many years of experience, we have almost certainly dealt with any relationship or couples' issues you may have.
Choosing a Therapist: Unfortunately, therapists are like car mechanics (or any other professional): some are good and some are merely ok. Look for a therapist who takes the time and effort to pay attention to you. Do they return phone calls promptly? Is he or she willing to talk to you prior to your making an appointment? How do the therapist and the support staff sound on the phone? Are they friendly? Do they give you a feeling that they can be trusted?
Therapists are trained in different types of therapy. Ask the therapist how they do therapy. After the first session or two, do you feel that you can trust the therapist? Is there a match between your personalities? Sometimes your personality will not match up with the therapist's. People are just different, through no fault of their own. If you are not comfortable, it is better to look for a better match. For that matter, it is ok to interview more than one therapist before you settle on one person.
Many therapists, who perform couples therapy, do not have much training. We use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), which studies show to be the most effective couple’s therapy available. Whoever you choose, be sure to ask them about their training and about their method of therapy. Ask them if there are studies which prove the effectiveness of their type of therapy. Also ask your therapist how many couples' sessions they do every week. If it's fewer than 6 or 7 a week, they are doing couples' therapy as a sideline, not as a main thrust of their practice. They may not be as experienced in working with couples.
