Patterns of dishonesty in a relationship, whether they accompany an affair or exist all on their own, indicate a lack of understanding in how to communicate in an effective manner. Oftentimes we see patterns of dishonesty in codependent relationships where the dishonest partner is worried about the response they will recieve if they are honest. #marriagecommunication #marraigetherapy #couplesconseling #therapyforcouples #healthymarraige #marraigetherapist

What I screen for as a marriage therapist. Top things I look for in a screening are signs of physical and emotional abuse. Emotional abuse can be harder to spot but it is very important for marriage therapist to screen for when taking on new clients. #marriagetherapist #couplescounseling #couplestherapy #marriagecommunication #therapyforcouples #marriagetips #healthymarriage #couplestherapist #marriageadvice #realtionshiphealing

What are the signs of Emotional Abuse in a relationship? Do you threatened by your person, do you feel threatened emotionally by your partner? This is an important issue that all marriage therapists should be more aware of. #marriagetherapist #couplescounseling #marraigeadvice #emotionalabuse #marriagetips #marriedlife #marriagetips

Physical or Emotional abuse is a full stop red flag that needs to be addressed immediately in a relationship. Both partners are responsible for making steps to move away from abusive behaviors or to stop abusive behaviors in the relationship. #marriagetherapy #marriagetherapist #couplescounseling #marraigeadvice #marraigetips

Infidelity or patterns of dishonesty should tell you that there is a break in your communication with your partner. Infidelity is on a continuum and how each person handles it is up to them. Some people have a hard line of saying any infidelity is a deal breaker and others draw the line on what they can and can't accept in the relationship. Be true to yourself and your feelings when deciding how to handle a break in honesty or fidelity. #marriageadvice #infidelityinmarriage #marraigetherapist #marraigetherapy #couplescounsling #marriagetips #marriedlife #marriedlife

Navigating the differences in culture, faith and spirituality can be exciting and fulfilling when we navigate them effectively. When we are protecting our faith or spirituality or culture or religion OVER our relationship that is a marriage red flag that needs to be addressed. Having your own set of spiritual beliefs or rituals can be fulfilling and grounding so long as it doesn't come at the expense of the relationship. #marriagetherapist #faithandcultureinmarriage #therapy #marriagecounseling #marraigeadvice #marriagetips #marriedlife #couplescounceling

Are you fighting fair!? Managing conflict in marriage is key. Are you or your partner stonewalling, being critical, being dismissive of the other person? The most destructive form of conflict management in marriage is to be competitive with your partner, calling names, swearing at your partner or disregarding your partner are all red flags in marriage conflict resolutions. #marriagetherapist #marriagetherapy #therapy #marriageconflicts #relationshipconflicts #couplescounseling #marraigeadvice #marraigetips #marriedlife

How does your partner handle stress and is that compatible with how you handle stress? Does your partner revert back to old coping mechanisms to handle stress? Do they use substances, avoidance, separation or smothering to deal with stress? Does your partner turn INTO the relationship for support with stress and can you be the support your partner needs to have a strong and healthy marriage? #stressmanagementinmarriage #marriagetherapist #threapy #marriagecounseling #marriageworks # marriagelife #marraigeadvice

Being on the same page with your partner BEFORE marriage is key to a lasting marriage. Have the hard talks about kids, finances, and faith before marriage so these don't become issues to overcome in the marriage. #marriagetherapy #couplescounseling #realtionshipdiscussions #therapy #marriageadvice #realtionshipdisscussions #marriagelife #marriageworks

The most important relationship in a family is the relationship between the parents. A strong and well functioning marriage creates safety and security for children. Being on the same page with your partner that the marital relationship is the priority is key in a marriage and in a family. #marriagetherapist #parentalunity #marriagefirst #therapy #marriageworks #marriageadvice #couplescounseling

Balancing the energy in marriage is key. Is the energy always going in one direction? Are you spending your energy to build up and support your partner to be a crutch or are you scaffolding them so they can support you? #marriagetherapist #couplescounseling #marriageenergy #supportingyourpartner #marriageworks #therapy #marriageadvice

The goal of a relationship is the learn and grow with your partner. But knowing when lifestyle differences are too much of a red flag to overcome in a relationship is also key to healthy relationships. #marriagetherapist #marriagetherapy #therapistsofinstagram #therapy #couplescounseling #marriageproblems #marriagelife #marriageworks #relationshipproblems #relationshipissues #marriageadvice #relationshipredflags

Finding balance in introvert and extrovert relationships can create a harmonious match. Extroverts learn to embrace moments of silence and introverts are encouraged to step out of their comfort zones. #marriagetherapist #marriagetherapy #therapistsofinstagram #therapy #couplescounseling #marriageproblems #marriagelife #marriageworks #relationshipproblems #relationshipissues #marriageadvice
