Marriage Counseling Services at Newport Beach Christian Counseling
Communication
This concept is like Relationships 101, but it’s still true: men and women are different, and this often leads to communication problems. Most marriage problems aren’t “deal breakers,” but instead are a mountain of smaller, unresolved misunderstandings and conflicts.
Christian marriage counseling can help you:
- Figure out what prevents you from communicating effectively
- Learn to how to be an engaged listener
- Understand nonverbal communication
- Manage stress and emotional responses
- Learn how to be healthfully assertive
Affairs, Infidelity, and Sexual Addiction
Issues of trust and deep betrayal require in-depth processing and communication. Is forgiving and forgetting the only option? This won’t bring healing if the root problems in the marriage aren’t addressed.
Christian marriage counseling can be invaluable to help you:
- Process the emotional impacts of betrayal, such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, depression, etc.
- Resolve the issues underlying an affair or sexual addiction of any kind (this is very difficult without professional help).
- Rebuild trust on a foundation of honesty.
After an affair or sexual addiction is discovered, it can feel like your marriage is over, but many couples have been able to come out stronger on the other side. God can redeem these situations.
Faith and Spirituality
According to research, if you and your spouse have the same belief system and worship together, your chance of divorce is reduced by 35-50%. If you are married to an unbeliever, Christian marriage counseling can still help.
In either case, counseling can:
- Help you understand your spouse’s spiritual needs
- Help you make decisions regarding your faith and your children
- Grow as a couple even if you have different beliefs
Finances
Financial concerns are one of the leading causes of conflict in marriage, with 64% of couples citing money issues as a “significant” source of stress. Financial advisors can help with legal issues, but gambling, careless spending, or hiding money are behaviors that require marriage counseling.
Christian marriage counseling can help you:
- Build trust after financial infidelity
- Address gambling or shopping addictions
- Create a budget, set goals, and share financial responsibility
Sexual Intimacy
Sexual issues are another common cause of marital conflict. A marriage counseling professional can help you work through a breakdown in communication, including issues with:
Low sexual desire and frequency disagreements
Expectations and health of the high desire partner
Sexual performance issues and anxieties
Sex addiction
Problems with physical intimacy often stem from other issues in the relationship. Christian marriage counseling offers a safe environment to discuss these issues and help you reclaim a healthy and fulfilling sex life.
Parenting
Children are a gift, but the season of parenting brings many challenges.
In Christian marriage counseling your counselor will help you by:
- Identifying your parenting styles
- Working through areas of conflict
- Discussing how to share parenting responsibilities
- Helping you and your spouse maintain a healthy, intimate marriage
If you’re expecting a new baby or if you’ve been parenting for years, you might run into areas that cause friction or confusion in your home. Christian marriage counseling can help strengthen your relationship as a couple and as parents.
Divorce
Lost hope can quickly lead to thoughts of divorce. Sometimes divorce is necessary, but often it just leads to greater unhappiness. Divorce is often correlated with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, along with:
- Financial problems due to the cost of the divorce itself and providing for two households
- Children being negatively impacted for years to come
- Emotional and physical effects such as stress, depression, sleep disorders, or medical issues; divorced people have a 20% higher rate of chronic health conditions
At Newport Beach Christian Counseling, we are dedicated to helping marriages in crisis. Marriage is a union created by God and designed to last a lifetime.
