For Couples on the Brink
If you’re here, chances are your relationship feels like it’s hanging by a thread. One of you might be leaning out, wondering if this can work at all. The other may be desperate to fix things. This is exactly the kind of situation where Discernment Counseling can help. Not to push a decision, but to slow things down and offer clarity.
Unlike traditional couples counseling, which assumes both partners are ready to work on the relationship, Discernment Counseling is designed for mixed-agenda couples. That means only one person may be open to change. The process is short-term, goal-oriented, and focused on helping each partner gain insight into how the relationship got to this point and what options lie ahead.
The Six Tips
The tips shared above are grounded in the principles of Discernment Counseling. From managing reactivity to avoiding pressure, from listening more deeply to focusing on what each partner truly wants — each one is a small but powerful shift toward clearer thinking and calmer communication.
