When's the best time to work on your marriage? Everyday! It's too easy to take each other for granted. Care for your marriage just like you take care of your car or your furnace. Just as we send our car to the garage for a tune and bring in the maintenance guy to tune up our AC or furnace our relationships all need tune ups to keep them in working condition. What's a tune up? Something as simple as creating special time together to talk about your relationship and future plans together or even seeing a marriage counsellor to see if you can smooth of some rough spots before they turn into pot holes.

Our society has created a lot of myths about adulthood and relationships. These myths are played out everywhere. 

• "Grow up. Be a man." 
  
• "You can handle it. You're an adult."
• "You're an independent woman. You don't need a partner."

We know that children need close attachment to a parent in order to grow up healthy. Through research over the past 15 years, a tremendous amount has been learned about relationships. Humans are social beings. It turns out that adults need the same kind of attachment that young children do. It is a lifelong need, like food, like oxygen. 

Our couples therapy is based on the science of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Much of this is based on the outstanding work of Dr. Sue Johnson. We see over 75% long term success for couples that embark on an EFT program. These are astounding results. 

Through EFT, you will gain a deep understanding of the negative patterns that exist in your relationship. You will learn to  recognize them, stop them, and create new patterns of connection, empathy and understanding.
