What is the goal of marriage counseling?

The counselors at Christian Counseling Pasadena desire to connect spouses more closely to each other and to God, to help you work through issues you’re facing, and to coach you in handling conflict and hurt in constructive and healthy ways.

Our goal is to establish trust, intimacy, and connection between spouses, and to connect you with the Lord as you build a Christ-centered marriage.

Other common goals include breaking down barriers between spouses, improving communication, and nurturing your marriage’s innate strengths. We want you to find genuine solutions that last for a lifetime. You might feel desperate in your marriage now, but there is hope for the future.

The counselors at Christian Counseling Pasadena offer professional guidance, help in resolving conflict and addressing destructive behaviors, and evidence-based psychotherapy solutions, all offered from a faith-based perspective that integrates biblical wisdom with secular resources.

According to the American Psychological Association, couples counseling has about a 75% positive outcome.

Here are two caveats: If there is physical or emotional abuse in your marriage, couples counseling is not effective unless the abuse stops completely. If you are already separated, effectiveness rates drop.

If there is substance abuse happening in your marriage, marriage counseling can still be effective as long as the addicted spouse is actively working to recover.
