Honesty really is the best policy

April 30, 2018 0 comments Couples Counseling, Marriage, Marriage Counseling Marriage intensive kimbowen

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen honesty, or rather the lack of honesty, play out as the underlying issue in a marriage. I always ask new clients about what prompted them to come see me. This generally gives me a pretty good idea of the presenting issues in the relationship and provides […]

Tell me if this feels familiar: You cannot remember the last time you’ve had a deep conversation with your spouse about your relationship. If you can remember, the memory is not a positive one. When you think about talking to your spouse about _____________, you cringe inside. (Fill in the blank with sex, money, parenting […]

Did you know a couple waits an average of 6 years between the time they are first unhappy in the relationship to when they finally reach out for help? SIX YEARS! That’s a lot of time for resentment and unhealthy patterns to build. And when a couple finally does reach out, knowing who to go […]

My wife and I have tried marriage therapy before. It wasn’t particularly successful but I didn’t realize what we were missing until we came to see Kim.

It’s been a year since we’ve seen you and guess what???? We got married five months ago! Kim, we are so happy. On our honeymoon we toasted you over dinner one night.

Our previous "marriage counselor" told my husband that our kids were not a reason to stay married so he filed for divorce. I was devastated. I thought we were over but Kim helped us find each other again. I will be forever grateful, Kim, for your passion for marriage.

I highly recommend Kim Bowen and her staff at The Marriage Place for couples counseling and family therapy.

The Marriage Place is a fantastic resource

Susan, after working with you, I did everything we discussed. My wife left town for a month and when she returned, she saw all the changes I had made. We started spending more time together and when it was time to talk to the mediator, she told me she didn't want the divorce. We kissed for the first time in 5 months!!! We are now going to counseling and things look better each day. Thank you!

You ROCK, Miss Kim! Thanks so much for all the times you listened and all the great advice you gave me. I was headed for trouble in an abusive relationship and you showed me how self-destructive I was being! I didn’t want to see how controlling he was because I loved him and “stupid girl” was not willing to see common sense. You showed me how to know the difference between loving someone and being infatuated. Now, I’m in a healthy, loving relationship. Think what I would have missed out on if we hadn’t done the work together? You are amazing! Love and Hugs!

Can't say enough wonderful things about The Marriage Place! 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! Sam John rocks!

Thank you, Kim, for all the time you took with me and for holding my hand when I needed it. Sometimes that required you to take late night phone calls or come in on a weekend to help me get through the crisis. I know I always have a place I can come when life gets too overwhelming.

Holding my hand during a crisis

My boyfriend and I came to counseling because we couldn’t stop fighting about the same damn stuff. The fights would get so bad we would break up, stay apart for a few months and then get back together. I got tired of the rollercoaster and I was getting too old to waste my time in a relationship that was going nowhere.It’s been a year since we’ve seen you and guess what???? We got married five months ago! Kim, we are so happy. On our honeymoon (in Hawaii…wink wink), we toasted you over dinner one night.

My wife and I found this process engaging. It required a commitment on both our parts. We learned how to build a foundation for a healthy marriage that is long lasting. We didn't have major problems. We just weren't communicating. Kim helped us look at ourselves in a safe, non-threatening way. Both of us have already recommended her to family members we know who are struggling.

Kim, I just had to take a few moments to say 'thank you' for what you did for me and especially for us. You were indeed a God send, when all was lost, you were injected into our lives. You drove hard and forced me/us to deal with life changing issues and deal with myself, someone I really didn't know. Even in tough sessions, your tender heart and true compassion shown through. I will be forever grateful for all you did under the true guidance of the Lord. Words cannot say enough or the right thing that would express my appreciation. Thank you for new life and a renewed marriage.

Kim, Thank you for all the work you’ve done with our son. We were referred to you by our school counselor because our son had severe anxiety. Before he started therapy, he was having a lot of stomach issues and was often throwing up. He was having trouble getting to sleep at night and told us he was “obsessing about everything”. You worked with him for about 6 months and he is doing so much better. He doesn’t worry as much and the stomach issues are gone! I just have to tell you it is an added bonus how much better he gets along with his brother. It is so nice to have peace in the house again. It was obvious you loved our child and helped him so much. I just don’t have words to say how much more relieved I am knowing he is a happier kid. Thank you!!!!

My Son's Anxiety

My wife and I have tried marriage therapy before. It wasn’t particularly successful but I didn’t realize what we were missing until we came to see Kim. We had some particularly powerful “ah ha” moments that I think were life changing but Kim helped me see that this thing called “marriage” was something we could figure out and do on our own. Glad I didn’t give up after the first attempt at marriage therapy. We are still figuring this out but I really do think we are going to make it.
