How an Imago Marriage Therapy Workshop Can Improve Your Relationship

Has anyone ever taught you how to be in a relationship?

This is a question I ask when I am first discussing Imago techniques and teachings to couples that are new to this theory. When we are young, we go to school to learn different subject matter: math, reading, writing, and so on. But there is so much more to life and love that we are not taught.

If you’re feeling lost in your relationship and disconnected from your partner, Imago can provide you with a wealth of tools to use to mend things. Reach out to us now and we’ll talk about your specific situation and how we can help you reconnect with your unique partner. Attempt to fix things without the proper tools and you can actually increase the likelihood that you will fail to resolve your conflicts in a positive way.

Obviously, we can’t get that specific in a blog post, but we can focus on certain general skills that help couples navigate conflicts and rough areas in relationships. Read more

Houston Relationship Therapist: Essential Skills for a Lasting Marriage

No two relationships are the same. You and your partner approach things differently than your parents, than your partner’s parents, than your best friends, and so on and so on.

Despite this fact, though, all great relationships need to be built upon the same basic and necessary qualities and characteristics – love, trust, respect, honesty, patience, and understanding.

Unfortunately, these traits aren’t always inherent. We’re not automatically given them. And even if we do have these traits within us, we don’t always know how to use them or what to do with them.

But that’s okay. We don’t have to be experts right off the bat. Instead, we should be able to recognize our strengths and weaknesses when it comes to relationships and realize that – like with everything in life – we always have something to learn. There’s always room for improvement. Read more
