Many couples bicker over all sorts of trivial things. Especially when they have become more disconnected, this is where ridiculous arguments, over pointless things can become big issues. For example I’ve heard couples bicker about the “right” way to pack the dishwasher, whether a colour is red or orange, who ate or drank what on an evening, who left the door open and how to correctly pronounce the word “niche” … and there so many more of mine own I could share, before I knew how harmful it was.

As an experienced counselor, one of the questions I’m asked frequently is, “Can a marital separation ever save a marriage?” My answer is a qualified “yes.”nnSometimes a couple is miserable living together and can’t seem to co-exist without having constant harping and bickering.

It’s a delicate and difficult situation for all involved and one that needs to be handled carefully.

Can a Good Marriage Have Problems? If your partner says, "We have a problem," does your chest tighten? Do you forget to breathe? What goes through your mind? "A problem! Aggh!

If this sounds like you, you are probably being duped by a harmful marriage myth: A good marriage has no problems. Conflict exists in any marriage. Our challenge is to deal with differences constructively.

"Trust". It's one of those sacred words in relationship lingo that automatically projects an aura of goodness and wholesomeness. Conversely, "mistrust" seems to reek of evil and pathology. If you ever want to evoke visceral and mindless reaction from someone, just ask "Don't you trust me?" Most people will reflexively and thoughtlessly reassure you that "Of course" they do. The won't take the time to define the various ways in which they mistrust you as well. "Healthy mistrust" seems close to being an oxymoron like "military intelligence"... or "unhealthy trust." That's unfortunate.

Self-centered, narcissistic people often achieve great financial success. Yet, I have had several clients who have made many millions of dollars by age forty only to discover that their wife is asking for a surprise divorce. Such people have no clue, saying, “I have given her everything.” One man gave his wife a very expensive diamond necklace. What she had said she wanted was to be invited to lunch. He felt generous and unselfish. She felt ignored and discounted once again by a selfish man who just wanted to impress his friends.

Stress has a bad rap. Stress can create problems, to be sure. Some of the more common ones are include difficulty concentrating, trouble with focus and memory, moodiness, frustration and overwhelm.

What's possible with neurofeedback for anxiety? Imagine you're driving through the countryside on a beautiful day, but your car isn't working. The gears keep getting stuck, and the gas pedal is jammed down. It's pretty scary. When you can't shift gears, you can't respond well to the bumps (or the boulders) in the road. So instead of enjoying the scenery, you're constantly focused on what might go wrong and how you can prevent it.

Maybe we can learn to communicate a little better, but I don't see how the fundamentals are going to change." I knew that it wasn't differences that were pulling Rich and Diana apart. It was the "cycle" they were in, the way they interacted with each other.

Even in the best marriages, not all conflicts get resolved. According to psychologist John Gottman’s research, 69 percent of problems in marriage do not get solved.[1] His good news is that in good marriages many perpetual issues that are not deal breakers can be managed.
