  When you visit your Newport Beach Marriage Counselor, he or she will tell you just how critical it has become to nourish any relationship and give it time to mature and bloom especially in times of today. When we are working day and night to make ends meet, pay for our bills and medical expenses of our dependents and keep our families happy, somewhere along the way we forget that as a couple we also have a responsibility towards each other. We quickly witness strain and stress in our marriage and that leads to annoyance and the inability to do anything about it leads to avoidance. The issue escalates over time and that just worsens things for the couple.

  This article will discuss certain aspects of marriage counseling from both the perspectives, that of the patient and the therapist. First we are going to talk about the various qualities your Newport Beach Marriage Counselor needs to have in them to be able to help you:

  1. Unbiased Opinion

  You need to ensure that your therapist isn’t towards or against anyone. There is only one motive here and that is of helping you both find solutions to your marital problems.

  2. Ideal Comfort Level

  If you don’t feel comfortable and respected by your therapist, there is going to be a problem. You need to put forth your perspective and feelings and your therapist should understand that and readily allow it as well.

  3. Value system of the therapist

  Do you have any idea about the therapist's own values about relationships? Do you know how he or she fares in their life when dealing with others or more importantly their significant other if they have one?

  4. Critical Knowledge

  When you think about quitting working on your marriage, what does your therapist do? Do they say that you both might be incompatible with each other after all or do they ask you why you are putting up with this stuff? If this is the case, it means they lack the critical knowledge to solve marital problems in the first place.

  As a couple, you too are going to have to give it your all to these sessions. Your Newport Beach Marriage Counselor alone is not going to be enough to make this relationship of yours stronger and thrive longer. So, here it goes:

  5. Setting Goals

  Make sure you both talk to your therapist about setting up concrete goals in your relationship early on. Once you set some common goals, you will be able to see your progress within two or three sessions, and will be able to solve many of your marital problems.

  6. Beliefs And Attitudes

  What are your beliefs and attitudes as a couple and as individuals? This will affect your sessions and relationship a lot. If you don’t have the right attitude and the will to make a significant change in your life, you’ll probably never see one come by.

  7. Positivism

  Most marital problems are easily solvable; all you need is a little bit of optimism which you need to bring in your life at all costs.

  8. Have Faith

  Remember to trust your instincts and ask for your therapist’s help when you see things not going your way. Know that you will succeed in making this relationship work and you will.
