Summary

Saving a Relationship, Single-Handedly It can feel really discouraging when you are eager to work on your relationship, and your partner is less than enthused about going to marriage counseling or relationship coaching. But know this: Every couple who gets to marriage counseling does so because one of the partners initiates it. In your relationship, that person might need to be you. And that is okay. This episode will give you insight into what might be going on inside your partner when they say things like: "Things aren't that bad" "Marriage counseling is too expensive" "We don't need to tell a stranger about our problems" "I absolutely refuse to go to marriage counseling" I'm sharing some tips and ideas that can help you you ease their concerns. I hope this advice helps you help YOUR partner take the first step forward with you, and start growing back together again. All the best, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby www.growingself.com
