“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. Financial understanding and cooperation are just as vital to the journey.”

Relationship Therapy: Conflict Resolution

Occasional conflict is a part of life. However, if you and your partner feel like you’re starring in your own nightmare version of the movie Groundhog Day — the same lousy situations keep repeating day after day — it’s time to break free from this toxic routine. By making an effort, you can lessen the anger and calmly address underlying issues.

Problem-Solving Strategies in Relationship Therapy:

Argue Civilly: You and your partner can learn to argue in a more civil, helpful manner. Make these strategies part of your relationship dynamic.
Own Your Reactions: Realize you are not a victim. It is your choice whether and how you react to conflicts.
Be Honest with Yourself: During arguments, assess whether your comments are geared toward resolving the conflict or seeking payback. If your comments are blaming and hurtful, take a deep breath and change your strategy.
Change Your Approach: If you continue to respond in ways that have brought pain and unhappiness in the past, don’t expect different results this time. Just one small shift can make a big difference. For instance, if you usually jump in to defend yourself before your partner finishes speaking, hold off for a few moments. You’ll be surprised at how this can change the tone of an argument.
Apologize When Necessary: Apologize when you’re wrong. Although it can be tough, trying it can lead to positive outcomes.
Focus on Your Behavior: Remember that you can’t control anyone else’s behavior. The only one in your charge is you.

Incorporating these strategies in relationship therapy can help manage conflicts more effectively and promote healthier interactions.

“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” George Bernard Shaw

Relationship Therapy: Sexual Issues

Even partners who love each other can experience mismatched sexual desires. Mary Jo Fay, author of Please Dear, Not Tonight, notes that a lack of sexual self-awareness and education can worsen these issues. However, she emphasizes that sex is one of the last things couples should give up. “Sex brings us closer together, releases hormones that benefit our bodies both physically and mentally, and maintains the chemistry of a healthy couple,” Fay explains.

Problem-Solving Strategies in Relationship Therapy:

Plan Intimate Time: Fay suggests scheduling intimate moments, but not necessarily at night when everyone is tired. Consider times like during the baby’s Saturday afternoon nap or a “before-work quickie.” Ask friends or family to take the kids every other Friday night for a sleepover. “When sex is on the calendar, it increases your anticipation,” Fay says. Changing locations can also make sex more fun, such as in the kitchen, by the fire, or standing up in the hallway.
Create a “Sexy List”: Learn what truly turns you and your partner on by each of you coming up with a personal “Sexy List,” suggests California psychotherapist Allison Cohen. Swap the lists and use them to create more scenarios that excite you both.
Seek Professional Help: If your sexual relationship problems can’t be resolved on your own, Fay recommends consulting a qualified sex therapist to help you both address and resolve your issues.

Incorporating these strategies in relationship therapy can help improve intimacy and resolve sexual conflicts more effectively.

Relationship Therapy: Financial Issues

Money problems can arise even before the wedding vows are exchanged, often stemming from the expenses of courtship or the high cost of a wedding. The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) recommends that couples facing money woes take a deep breath and have a serious conversation about finances.

Problem-Solving Strategies in Relationship Therapy:

Be Honest About Finances: Clearly communicate your current financial situation. If things have gone south, continuing the same lifestyle is unrealistic.
Choose the Right Time: Don’t approach the subject in the heat of battle. Instead, set aside a convenient and non-threatening time for both of you to discuss finances.
Understand Different Financial Habits: Acknowledge that one partner may be a saver and the other a spender. Understand the benefits of both tendencies and agree to learn from each other.
Transparency is Key: Don’t hide income or debt. Bring financial documents, including a recent credit report, pay stubs, bank statements, insurance policies, debts, and investments to the table.
Avoid Blame: Focus on solutions rather than blaming each other for financial issues.
Create a Joint Budget: Construct a budget that includes savings and is agreed upon by both partners.
Assign Financial Roles: Decide which person will be responsible for paying the monthly bills to ensure accountability.
Allow Financial Independence: Set aside money for each person to spend at their discretion, promoting independence and personal freedom.
Set Goals Together: Decide upon short-term and long-term financial goals. It’s okay to have individual goals, but you should also have family goals.
Plan for the Future: Discuss caring for your parents as they age and plan appropriately for their financial needs if required.

Implementing these strategies in relationship therapy can help improve financial harmony and resolve monetary conflicts more effectively.

Relationship Therapy: Communication Issues

Relationship problems often arise from poor communication. Elaine Fantle Shimberg, author of Blending Families, emphasizes, “You can’t communicate effectively while checking your BlackBerry, watching TV, or flipping through the sports section.”

Problem-Solving Strategies in Relationship Therapy:

Schedule Dedicated Time: Make an actual appointment with each other. If you live together, silence your cell phones, put the kids to bed, and let voicemail pick up your calls.
Choose Neutral Locations: If you struggle to communicate without raising your voices, go to a public spot like the library, park, or restaurant where you’d be embarrassed if anyone saw you screaming.
Establish Communication Rules: Set up some rules. Avoid interrupting your partner while they are speaking and ban phrases such as “You always …” or “You never ….”
Show Active Listening: Use body language to show you’re listening. Avoid doodling, looking at your watch, or picking at your nails. Nod to show understanding and rephrase if necessary. For instance, say, “What I hear you saying is that you feel as though you have more chores at home, even though we’re both working.” If you’re right, your partner can confirm. If the true message is, “Hey, you’re a slob and you create more work for me by having to pick up after you,” they can express it more nicely.

Incorporating these strategies in relationship therapy can help improve communication and resolve conflicts more effectively.

“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” George Bernard Shaw
