According to Merriam-Websters Dictionary, transition means, "a change or shift from one state, subject, place, etc. to another." In relationships, like dating or marriage, several transitions will take place. The most romantic season is upon us. It's a popular season for engagements, wedding planning, and vow renewals to take place. These events will impact each individual and the relationship as they move from one state into a deeper relationship phase. Along with the romantic aspect of transitions, there are other transitions you may face such as parenthood, blending families or a career change. Throughout all forms of transition, it is normal to experience excitement as well as some anxiety or difficulty with change.

All aspects of transitioning takes thought, planning and a lot of communication. Transitions, no matter how exciting, can be bumpy and not play out as well as you had hoped. If you are in a transition period or you are just wanting to improve your communication skills; working with a couples counselor may be something to consider.

Years ago, when transitioning from fiance to wife, I found myself suffering from stress and anxiety. Our communication styles were different from one another. It was at this point that we sought the help of a professional counselor to assist us in learning to pause and truly hear each other. We learned helpful techniques in letting our guard down and working together as a team.

Counseling is for all stages of marriage and/or relationships... the good, the challenging times, and the not so good. We are here to assist you in strengthening your relationship and in becoming the partners you aim to be.
