Relationship Check Up

Do you wait to see the dentist until something hurts?

Or do you go for regular check ups? As with other health related issues, the sooner you catch something, the easier it is to fix!

What is a Relationship Check Up?

It is not the same as Relationship Counseling

A Relationship Check Up is a way to prevent relationship problems.

It consists of a once-a-year consultation with a couples counselor that could provide the same benefit that a physical health check or a dental check up would provide.

People generally don’t wait to see the dentist until something hurts. They go for check ups on a regular basis.

Research on prevention of marital strife shows that couples who do a Relationship Check Up experience improvement in the quality of their relationships.

A Relationship Check Up may identify areas of potential problems, before the problems spiral out of control.

Fixing problems is simpler and easier during a Relationship Check UP, than if couples wait until they are very unhappy to consult with a couple’s counselor.

A Relationship Check Up can take anywhere from one to four sessions.

Relationship Check Up is NOT a substitute for couples/marriage counseling.
