LOVE IS A GREAT PLACE TO START, BUT IT CERTAINLY ISN’T ALL YOU NEED.
We had the kind of marriage our friends wished they had. Until one day we didn’t. Looking back, I still don’t know exactly when things started going wrong. It was so gradual neither of us noticed. But there actually came a day when I questioned whether I even liked my husband anymore, much less loved him or wanted to be married to him.
I am so very thankful neither of us gave up on our marriage; and that we eventually found the kind of faith-based, Christ-centered help we needed to get our marriage back, not only on solid ground, but to a better place than ever before.
I still remember just how hard it was to find the help we knew our marriage needed. And from my own journey to find help came the beginnings of The Marriage Place.
WHAT IS THE MARRIAGE PLACE?
Our Christian marriage counseling is rooted in faith using Biblically-based principles and artfully delivered by therapists specially trained to help a couple resolve their issues, heal the hurt, and create a new vision for their marriage.
Our counselors are experts in marriage and relationship therapy. In fact, 98% of our client base is couples-focused work which makes us very different than most counseling practices.
WE TAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIP AS OUR CLIENT.
Our marriage counseling not only addresses the presenting problems in your relationship, but also helps you recognize and change the reoccurring patterns or “dance” that created them, which is critical for lasting change.
WHEN IS IT TIME TO SEEK MARRIAGE COUNSELING?
So how do you know when you need marriage counseling or if you can just “wait it out” for things to get better?
It’s time to seek marriage counseling when:
- You feel like you are walking on eggshells any time your partner is around.
- You and your partner are stuck on the same issues and fighting more often.
- You feel like you can’t do or say anything right without your partner getting angry, hurt or defensive.
- You can’t honestly communicate about what’s bothering you.
- One of you has had, is having, or is thinking of having an affair.
- One (or both) of you wants out of the relationship.
- You start to wonder if you really love your partner any more or if your partner loves you.
- You aren’t having sex often enough or it isn’t fulfilling or fun.
- You or your partner is controlling or demanding.
- You would rather be alone than with your spouse.
- Your fights are escalating and you’re afraid they will get out of control.
GETTING BACK ON TRACK IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT.
Whether you are local or live half way across the world, we can help you get out of the harmful cycles causing the stress and tension in your relationship and replace them with solutions that help you both feel more hopeful about the future of your relationship.
Our solutions can help you:
- Get past defensiveness
- Abandon the anger and resentment…and rebuild trust
- Strengthen your friendship
- Deepen your love and connection
- Be closer and more attentive to each other
- Relight the fire in your sex life

I live a great distance away and yet not once did that ever matter – the support, the guidance, the help was absolutely timeless and I am so so grateful “ – A.L.
They literally helped save my marriage… It’s not one of those ‘So how does this make you feel’ type of counseling. They not only listen, and give feedback, but insist on specific daily exercises to teach you & your partner to communicate (positively) again. It’s not about who’s to blame anymore ~ it’s about moving forward, forgiving & learning to appreciate again! – S.L.
“Thank you for not only for helping us save our Marriage but for helping me find my best friend again. You’ll be in our hearts forever.” – J.H.
“Kim Bowen and her team at The Marriage Place really care about helping folks in this community find more joy, peace and fun in their relationships! They work with everything from communication and intimacy issues to how to work through affairs and betrayal. They are knowledgeable, focused, and professional. Highly recommended!” -K.R.
HERE’S WHAT I LEARNED AND WHAT YOU CAN LEARN TOO….
One of the biggest mistakes my husband and I made early in our marriage was waiting to ask for help.
Your relationship is too important to wait. The coaches and counselors at The Marriage Place are here to help whether both of you are ready to talk or it’s just you.
