Stop fighting,
Start understanding.

Emotional intimacy, physical intimacy, trust, and mutual respect are all necessary for a thriving, connected relationship. If it feels like fighting outweighs the fun in your relationship, you know it’s time to try something else. If you haven’t felt heard or understood or if you’re wondering where the passion went, couples therapy can help you discover the elements blocking your return to a great sex life.
