In fact, over 90% of the couples we see for counseling are not spending regular time together.  As necessary as weekly date night is, it isn’t easy to consistently put it into practice. And I would argue, not because of a lack of desire but because of a lack of priority.  Think back to your level of responsibility when you were dating your spouse compared to your level of responsibility now.

Having a lot of money doesn’t eliminate marriage problems, but money problems can definitely lead to some serious problems in your marriage.

As sincere as you probably were when you promised “I do” to your spouse, your sincerity has likely been tested in the following years. Why? Fulfilling that promise (and any promise) can be challenging at times. Keeping your marriage promise requires prioritizing your word over your circumstances. It requires sacrifice, commitment, embracing delayed gratification and valuing the recipient of ..read more
