Integrative Couples Therapy ™
This is what happens:
As couples fall in love they create the “good story” of their relationship – for instance – how they met and the details of their growing romance. Over time, conflicts normally arise, and if those problems are not resolved, they come together to create the “bad story” of the relationship. Integrative Couples Therapy© can help couples resolve their problems and have those past issues become part of the “good story.”

The Couple’s Conversation
On the differences between men and women…
Let’s say a guy named Roger is attracted to a woman named Elaine. He asks her out to a movie; she accepts; they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and again they enjoy themselves. They continue to see each other regularly, and after a while neither one of them is seeing anybody else. And then, one evening when they’re driving home, a thought occurs to Elaine, and, without really thinking she says it aloud; “Do you realize that, as of tonight, we’ve been seeing each other for exactly six months?”
