Most
of us have fantasies about how
love and a healthy marriage
should be pictured. We then
impose those unrealistic ideals
onto our mate, and everyone
suffers as a result of not being
able to live up to the fantasy.
Our personalities contribute
greatly to the ideals we impose
not only on our mate, but also
on the relationship as a whole.
The specific strengths and weaknesses
and level of health of the personalities
of the people within a union
greatly affect the overall health
of the relationship. And although
each marriage will likely encounter
some trials and tribulations,
the ways the parties deal with
the trials and conflicts will
determine the success or failure
of the marriage.
In the experience of marriage
coaching, accommodating differing
values, personality styles,
and the maturing of the emotional
intelligence of the parties
is a primary objective of the
coaching. After all, emotionally
mature people naturally produce
healthier marriage dynamics,
and more satisfying unions.
On the first visit, you and
your spouse will define key
differences and be given immediate
strategies to work with. |
