It takes time to build and maintain a happy & healthy marriage. With the demands of work and family chores, finances and children, the relationship can become strained. Couples can still love each other, but lose sight of how they grew so far apart. Unhealthy relationship patterns can be established and communication can be blocked. It becomes hard to know how to find the way back.

If there is commitment to the relationship and with proper therapy, couples can often rekindle that old flame and build an even stronger bond. Even if one person changes his or her behavior in a healthy manner, a positive change in the whole relationship pattern of the family will result.

Broader Horizons offers both traditional and non-traditional (EAP) relationship-skills-building counseling. Pre-marital Counseling or Relationship Tune-ups groups are offered in an 8-10 week program exploring issues such as Communication, Making Decisions, Finances, Sex & Child Rearing, Conflict Resolution and Recreation & Leisure.

If couples are not sure if the marriage is worth saving or are already seeking a divorce, Broader Horizons is certified to do counseling that is court-ordered or before it even gets to the attorneys. There are ways to end a relationship without it costing your life savings due to attorney fees and long, drawn- out legal battles.
