Transforming Marriages

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist I have helped hundreds of couples learn how to be happily married. I help couples turn their marriage around especially after affairs and other hurts have threatened to destroy their relationship. Allow me to take you through my marriage coaching program where I will help you heal from the past hurts and establish a new mutually satisfying marriage. I will guide you with Christian values to develop a healthy and happy marriage. As an experienced Black male marriage therapist I am uniquely qualified to speak to the needs of the African American community who are often wary of being stigmatized with mental health problems. Lately I am finding that more and more Blacks are feeling comfortable with counseling. I have a very diverse client base and believe no marriage is beyond repair.

My mission is help couples who have experienced affairs and high conflict rekindle the flame of love they once felt. Don’t you want a Sizzling Hot Marriage?

According to research done by the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, families and couples who have attended family or couples therapy sessions indicate high levels of patient satisfaction. Over 98 percent of those surveyed reported that they received good or excellent couples therapy, and over 97 percent of those surveyed said they got the help they needed. After working with a marriage or family therapist, 93 percent of patients said they had more effective tools for dealing with their problems. Respondents also reported improved physical health and the ability to function better at work after attending therapy.

How to Recover After Cheating

END THE AFFAIR

How can you work on two relationships at one time? You Can’t! You have to decide what really matters in your life. You have to get out of the fantasy world thinking this other person is the answer to all of what you have been missing in your life. If your marriage sucks you’ve got to stop putting all the blame for that on your spouse. What is the likelihood that your poor relationship skills will show up in your next relationship? Come into reality – you need to fix yourself and stop looking to others for solving your personal problems. Stop blaming your spouse for your bad behaviors. Stop dragging another person into your folly. Stop hurting yourself.

COMMIT TO REBUILDING TRUST

So you have decided you have invested too much into your marriage to just throw it all away. Smart choice! The pain of an affair will dissipate as you rebuild a brand new mutually satisfying relationship. You both must learn how to forgive and acknowledge your contribution to your marital woes. You must learn how to communicate effectively. You must mature emotionally and socially. You must learn to forgive and love yourself. You must be able to love your spouse when they are attacking you. The guilty spouse must be open to living under a magnifying glass to rebuild their credibility with your spouse.

RESOLVE THE UNDERLYING CONFLICT

Affairs never happen in a vacuum. The relationship has to be ripe for an affair. Affairs usually happen when couples have drifted apart over time. Affairs are usually the result of not listening to one another’s pleas for time, attention and sex. Couples get in this condition from unresolved issues. Some of those issues might be past abuse, pornography/sex addiction, low self-esteem, parental divorce, communication issues, etc. To move forward in your marriage you’ve got to resolve these unresolved issues. It’s a long road to recovery after an affair. Make it a successful journey with Lifestyle.
