Couple Connection

Sooner or later all relationships face difficulties in communication. Learning to live with another soul is challenging and takes time, effort and work. As no two people are alike, we often choose our mates without appreciating the complexity of negotiating between our desires to be respected for our uniqueness and autonomy and our desires to be connected to another. These seemingly polar struggles are often central to the underlying dynamics that we all face. In a supportive atmosphere, without blame, shame or judgment, these dynamics are explored and concrete behavioral information and skills are provided to enhance couple communication, connection and caring.

Love and Marriage

A couple's sexuality can be a wonderful part of their life and a relationship is best if it includes a mutually enjoyable sexual exchange.

Sexuality can also be a source of distress, uncertainty and insecurity.

Although there are many excellent new drugs on the market to enhance sexual performance, sexuality is about communication and in the absence of a good relationship the best drugs are inadequate.

All too often, shame, fear and embarrassment prevent couples from discussing their concerns with doctors, family or friends.

Millions of men and women would like to enhance their emotional and sexual relationships. Although, it is normal to feel anxious, upset or angry with one’s partner, many people do not have the tools to resolve these difficulties. As a result, problems which can be easily solved are left unattended only to fester and become more severe.

Marriage is a deeply complex system, and one of the ways we communicate with our partner is physically and emotionally. Sexual expression changes throughout one's life and is affected by multiple factors within each individual and each couple. Along with commitment, there is chaos, change and conflict, and often these feelings get expressed in bed. There no magic potions or instant solutions when we fall out of lust.
