In this episode of Three Minutes with Stuart, Stuart talks about a relationship checkup.
When the majority of people think of couples counseling they see counseling as a resource for couples who are having problems, and not something that couples who are in healthy relationships can benefit from too.
However, couples that are in healthy relationships can benefit from couples counseling too!
Relationships take work. In fact, anything in life that we want to excel in or at takes work, but surprisingly most people come into relationships and don't make the connection that their relationship needs work too.
Just as its important to your physical health to have a check up each year to make sure your healthy, and be proactive in heading off potential health risks, we should all consider the importance of an annual relationship checkup for couples.
A relationship checkup can help you avoid waking up one day wondering what happened to your connection with your partner. Couples come into my practice in Scottsdale, and may times when they come, it's only after things have gotten so bad in their relationship, when it could have been avoided.
Many times one partner will be completely unaware that there was a problem in their relationship, and they're surprised when they hear from their partner that hey haven't been happy in a long time.
Relationship checkups will help you check your relationships health and identify problem areas. You'll also be given solutions to help you resolve any issues that could potentially damage your relationship BEFORE things get out of hand.
Like cancer, you have the greatest opportunity to defeat the disease when it's identified and treated in its beginning stage. It's the same for your relationship.
Plus, you don't go through the relationship assessment alone. You'll go through your results with an objective third party that is there to help you and your partner have all the tools and information you need to build a life-long successful relationship together.
