Marriage Counselling can help you have a healthy marriage.
Around the world there’s a lot of confusion about what is a marriage, what is a healthy marriage?
My name is Robert I’ve done marriage counselling for over 26 years with great results if people listen to me.
I basically call myself a marriage coach teacher these days or communication teacher.
I believe that every human being is created to have a desire to be married and some have a desire to be single. But most of you want to be married.
So, what does a healthy marriage look like, and why is there so much confusion about this topic of marriage and family?

Well, there are three things that you need to understand when you get married.
Commitment to Marriage
One, is the whole idea of commitment. Commitment for the rest of your life to this one person. Now it’s an investment of your life into them but it’s an investment of their life into your life. And so, you make each others lives even better.
I often tell people that when they get married, and they believe in a higher power than they have a triune relationship. They have the husband and they have the wife and they have Spiritual involved.
And so, this relationship really works because of that overall relationship.
Three things you need to understand to have a healthy marriage.
Health Marriage has Commitment
One, commitment. We’re committed to each other for the rest of our life. And we’re going to be committed even when things aren’t working out well. We believe in that person. We’re investing in them.
And so when you become married it isn’t something you choose to do because you feel good about it. Because true love in marriage is not based just on emotional feelings. Emotional feelings come and they go.
A lot of times your emotional feelings have to do with the nights’ sleep you had before today or the food you ate. Your emotions can be thrown off very easily.
But in marriage you believe that love and caring is commitment, love is a decision. You decide to do the loving thing for the person you’re married to because you’re committed. And commitment isn’t something that’s two weeks or two months or two years.
Marriage Counselling to Help with Commitment
Commitment is something where you become married, and you’re committed to this person for the rest of your life. You must understand that when you make this important decision to get married, or if you are married and not feeling good about your spouse, understand that you can be committed.
You must understand that it is a very important decision to get married. If you are married and you’re not feeling good about your spouse, know that you can be committed.
So, understand in healthy marriage we have to have commitment. If you are not committed, I suggest some marriage counselling. Coaching.
I always say to save a lifetime of pain never marry somebody who does not love and respect themselves. You also need to love and respect yourself first.
Communicate
Number two we need to understand how to communicate. Learn how to listen to your partner. This is the number one complaint from ladies around the world. How do I help my husband communicate on an emotional level.
Well men are not natural communicators. Ladies are natural communicators. And so, men have to learn how to communicate in effective ways and understand the needs of their wife.
While women they speak on the average of three times more words than the average man. Men are doers, women are natural communicators. Men are logical and try to fix the women’s problems not listen.
Communication is something that’s verbal; it’s nonverbal. We communicate a message to another person, in this case our spouse. They communicate back to us and we say words that they understand.
Communication takes patience and there are ways that we communicate effectively. There are ineffective ways.
Poor Communication
Let me tell you a poor communication style that I promise you will end a marriage. It’s one when we communicate and every time, we talk we begin harshly.
The communication is in a rude form; in a mean way, that’s not a way to start. Couples that begin communication in that way we might as well stop it right then. The communication goes from harshness, and it just executes even bigger, and we start feeling negative about the other person.
We start accusing them of things. Then we go into bad opinions about them, this is in communication. We can’t fix the discussion or the problem we’re dealing with because we feel bad about the person.
Why? It’s because the communication began in the wrong way. We begin having bad memories about this person that we’re married to the rest of our life.
You know you can begin communication in a good way.
Marriage Counselling will help your Communication
First go and get some marriage counselling, coaching to teach you communication skills.
You can start by complimenting the person or saying I want to discuss this. I want to have good communication between us.
If you feel your communication is not as good as it should be, I suggest some marriage counselling.
Well, this is just a brief discussion on the whole thought of communication and commitment. Understand this, in every relationship we need to know how to communicate effectively.
Men with their wife, wife with their husband. Even with our children. We need to understand that this is critical for a healthy marriage.
Marriage Conflict Management
But number three see that we need to understand is the whole idea of conflict management.
Marriage is comprised of a commitment to another person. You want to stay married to them for the rest of your life, though you know you need to communicate. Though in communication and in family there is always conflict issues.
Conflict issues have been here since the beginning of time. And you know what, we can learn how to have conflict in our home, even in our family when there are children, and we can come to the right conclusions.
If you don’t know how to be involved in appropriate conflict management, meaning we don’t yell at each other. We don’t call each other names, we never hit each other. These are abusive kinds of behaviour. And we can stop doing it. You might say well that happens in my home. Well, let me tell you something about that. It’s learned behaviours.
Marriage Counseling can help with Communication skills and Conflict Management
Everything that you have learned to do you can unlearn. You can change and become better at how to have conflict or communication skills in your life. And so know this; when in conflict there’s escalating conflicts and anger, that’s a danger sign and you need to be careful and kind of slow it down. Give it some time.
And then you start avoiding each other because you can’t talk or you can’t be around each other. As a marriage counsellor for 26 years I don’t want that to happen to you. I want you to want to be with each other.
We can take little breaks from each other because every relationship is a challenge When we’re avoiding each other, hiding from each other because we’re afraid of conflict, that’s not the answer. Or we start dishonouring the other person. Putting them down, not respecting them, belittling them. We need to honour the person we’re married to. Respect them for who they are, for the loving person you married.
Then what can happen in conflict if we’re not careful we can develop negative habits. Where we are continuing as I’ve mentioned to use words that are inappropriate or yell or even become physically abusive. These aren’t ways that we treat people.
Love your Family
We have a great higher power that created us to love people, especially love the person you’re married to. Your children, we have each other and family are all important to each other.
For the rest of your life you can know how to manage conflict. You can know how to communicate in appropriate ways. These are learned behaviours. You’ll get better at it if you trust Me as your counsellor and let me help you. If you read my books and understand there are good ways to treat people, the people that you love and you’re committed to.
