4. Marriage Problem Solving...for individuals and couples in distress

There will always be some problems in marriage.  Unfortunately, sometimes your marriage can get stuck.  Some problems just don't seem to go away, or they keep popping up over and over again.  Sometimes you're not even sure what the problem is, you just know you're not happy.  That's why The Counseling Office provides individual and couples counseling.  The counseling process is a form of specialized marriage education that is individually tailored to the needs and concerns of each person's marital situation.  It is designed to help you learn what  went wrong and what you need to do to get your marriage moving again, and to resolve those problems once and for all.
