Rekindling the love in your relationship and making it work is possible when you are open to change. Experience has taught us that the biggest predictor of a marriage is at risk is when a partner feels his or her needs are not being met. If it is to thrive, it must be watered regularly. New seeds must be sown, and weeds must be pulled.
Similarly, to keep the magic of love alive, we must understand its seasons and nurture love's special needs. To save your marriage, you must begin by giving each other empathy and respect. You must learn important communication skills. The hurtful things that are said and done can seriously damage the fabric of your relationship.

After the truth comes out, the unfaithful partner will insist that it was a one time thing, that it meant nothing to him, and that it had nothing to do with the marriage. He is wracked with feelings of sorrow and guilt and defends himself with explanations. His apologies seem woefully inadequate, to her, especially after all the lies.
Pre-marital counseling may be on its way to becoming as commonplace as driver's training. In fact, Florida now encourages couples to attend marriage prep by giving those who get counseling a reduction in their marriage license fee. If it is to thrive, it must be watered regularly. New seeds must be sown, and weeds must be pulled.

My mom could not be happier with the support she has received from Arlene at A Center for Marriage Counseling. She started getting guidance one on one and then in a group in 2006 for a short while. Arlene was able to quickly guide her towards a better perspective and towards materials she could read on her own to help herself when needed. She visits once every two years or so for what she calls a tune up visit. Mom says therapy doesn't get much better than that! I'm sure it has helped the life I've had growing up with her too.

I worked at A Center for Marriage Counseling as Arlene's office manager/assistant for eight years while I myself was in graduate school training to become a therapist. During my time at the counseling center I had countless contacts with clients who consistently described overwhelmingly positive and beneficial experiences working with Arlene and Jacqueline. I myself was impressed by their empathy, compassion, and dedication to helping couples develop happier and more fulfilling relationships. I recommend A Center for Marriage Counseling without hesitation.

The first time I went to see Arlene, I felt alien and unnerved. Quickly, those feelings disappeared and were replaced with those of support, encouragement and warmth. I joined group, and it has become a nurturing place where I have experienced the bulk of my emotional growth over the past 12 years. I would not be the person I am today without it. I went from being in an unhealthy relationship, to being free, light and full of love. It all happened because of the skills I learned in that room. My life is full and vibrant now, and I owe gratitude to Arlene and all of the people who have sat in that

Arlene is the real deal! If you want to start living your life, I promise you she won't disappoint you!! I have been going to Arlene for many years and I always leave her office feeling so inspired by her wisdom. She brings me to a new level of thinking and focuses on living my values!! Her techniques are truly a different way of thinking and doing, and I am so grateful Arlene is in my life!! Most importantly, my relationship is wonderful because we use her skills and save our disagreements for when we see Arlene! Thank you, Arlene!

You absolutely want to go see Arlene!
We have been longtime clients of Arlene. She is an incredibly skilled therapist whose work is transformative. Through our work with her we have learned skills that have taken our good to middling marriage and made it fantastic. Skills we have learned as a couple include: identifying our own feelings and needs, how to safely ask your partner for what you need, how to communicate, how to clean up the process of our communication so we no longer argue about the content. I highly recommend her to everyone and anyone I know.
