When partners feel known, appreciated, and attuned to each other, they will report higher levels of relationship satisfaction and connection than couples that don’t.

When we make these small, seemingly insignificant moments count with one another, we build trust, emotional connection (instead of feeling disconnected), and more satisfying intimacy.

Sounds easy enough, right? It definitely can be when it becomes a habit!

As couples counselors, we have lots of couples say, “I’ve never done couples therapy before. I don’t know what to expect.” It creates a lot of anxiety when you don’t know what’s coming.

You may worry that things will get worse. You may worry that your partner will say things that are really hard to hear or spell bad news for your relationship. You might be concerned that you will be in therapy forever. You know you don’t want to be blamed for all the problems. You might be concerned that the therapist will tell you that you should divorce or give up on the relationship.

We'd like to help ease some of your worries about couples counseling. Here's an overview of what to expect in an EFT couples counseling session at Thrive: https://thrivefamilyservices.com/what-couples-therapy-session/

Lots of couples can really struggle with how to respond to the other’s feelings. When we meet with new couples, we often hear complaints about empathy that sound like:

• She just doesn’t get me.
• I can pour my heart out to him, and he is silent. It’s like he has no heart!
• He tries to fix me or give me solutions instead of just listening. It’s so frustrating!
• She always ends up talking about herself when I’m trying to tell her something.
• They take everything so personally that I never get to talk about what I’m feeling.

Do any of these complaints about lack of empathy sound familiar? These communication break downs happen all the time in couples.

One thing that can help is to learn more about what gets in the way of being an empathetic, good listener. Don’t worry if you do lots of these - many of us do. We just want to start catching ourselves when we do them.

It’s inevitable that we will change as we get older, and that means that our relationships will change too. Perimenopause is a big change that couples experience, but they’re not always prepared for it, which makes the experience more difficult and conflict more likely.

If you’re wondering how to support your relationship while you or your partner is experiencing perimenopause, here are some places to start.

Learn more about navigating perimenopause as a couple on the blog: https://thrivefamilyservices.com/how-perimenopause-affects-couples/

08/21/2025

The changes in your body that happen during perimenopause can lead to symptoms like:

• Digestion problems - Changes in hormone levels can lead to digestive problems like bloating, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, gas, and nausea.
• Sensory changes - Changes in your senses, such as smell or taste, or even your vision, which can easily be overwhelming.
• Issues with s3xual functioning - Some women may experience v@ginal dryness, and/or thinning of the v@ginal walls which can make s3x uncomfortable. Many experience lower libido during perimenopause.
• Problems regulating temperature - Hot flashes are one of the classic symptoms of menopause, which can impact sleep and mood.
• Mood swings - Some women may experience mood swings, anxiety, or depression during this period.
• Sleep disturbances - Hot flashes can cause sleep disturbances and can lead to increased irritability. Lack of sleep can also worsen mood disorders.
• Appearance - Hair and skin may change, becoming more dry and reducing elasticity. Changes in appearance can impact confidence and self-esteem.
• Aches and pains- Hormones like estrogen play a role in lubricating our joints and preventing inflammation, so lower levels can mean joint pain and muscle aches.
• Bladder issues - Increased incidence of UTIs can be an issue in perimenopause, which can be exacerbated by s*x.
• Changes in cognitive functioning - Brain fog, where you experience lapses in memory and concentration, is common

There’s a lot going on during perimenopause, and balancing all of this change with all of your other responsibilities is a lot to manage. It’s no wonder that many relationships struggle during this period as everyone adjusts.

In the days, weeks and months after the discovery of an affair, emotions ebb and flow. Often, this feels like you are being yanked in opposite directions – between love and fear, longing and anger. This is normal!

You can anticipate needing to talk and process the event and the hurt repeatedly. Though this might seem disheartening, it is helpful to frame this as an opportunity to lean on each other for support in a way that you may not have before. This is now a valuable opportunity to strengthen your relationship and rebuild trust - we've seen it happen in our Centennial counseling office.

When a marriage survives an affair and partners actually heal from it, the marriage often becomes even better than it was before the affair. For many, the discovery of an affair is the opportunity to reconnect and recommit to their partners.⠀
⠀
If partners choose to stay together after infidelity and don’t get the chance to heal, resentment can build. Resentment builds between the partner who was injured and the partner that had the affair. ⠀
⠀
There are three overall phases that couples must go through to re-establish trust, correct previous errors of disconnection, and strengthen their bond.⠀

Wondering how to affair-proof your relationship? Give these suggestions a try:

• Address Emotional Distance Early: Don’t wait until you’re on a jumbotron with tension thick in the air. Talk openly about loneliness, unmet needs, and fears.
• Repair After Missed Moments: When a bid for connection (a touch, a look, a kiss) is rejected, talk about it. What happened in that moment? What was each person feeling?
• Learn How to Respond Softly: Blame and defensiveness escalate disconnection. Emotionally Focused Therapy teaches couples to speak with vulnerability instead: “I feel scared I’m not important to you.”
• Rebuild Rituals of Closeness: Simple acts—greeting each other with intention, daily check-ins, planned moments of touch or affirmation—protect the bond from erosion.
