Marriage Isn't Always Easy.

Marriage isn't always serene, and it’s not all sunshine, and romance like movies would have you believe. The husband will do things to annoy the wife, and she will do something to annoy him.

• Communicate in a way that doesn't leave the other person feeling attacked or belittled.

• You'll also learn relationship exercises to do at home that help to bring you closer together.

Where is My Baby and Who Took His Place?

Family therapy is an excellent resource when it's the kids who are giving you a problem. Babies are so cute, and sweet, toddlers, and preschoolers are little bundles of love. But, children grow up, they expand their horizons, they have opinions, and they like to test authority. Learning the right way to communicate with your child can save you a lot of stress and tears. Your child also benefits from having someone to talk to who isn't as emotionally invested in his as you are.

A psychoanalyst or therapist can be the boost you need to get your relationship back on track.
