All is far in love and war.  What does that saying really mean?Are they implying there may be something similar between the two?  I am not sure if that is what they are saying but there are similarities between the two.

The similarities between the two I think are when that love becomes war.  It may still be love between the two but they are at each other like it is war.  I have seen this first hand doing couples counseling San Diego.A couple that once used to be loving now are constantly in battle.It is my main purpose is to be able to bring peace between the couple.  And restore that once great relationship.

So what are the signs of trouble?  One of the biggest warning signs is communication.Or should I put it this way, no communication.For all relationships, being able to communicate is critical.Since it is so important, if in your relationship you start to see that you are not being able to communicate it is a sign.it is a sign trying to let you know trouble is starting.  Whether I am doing couples counseling or as a marriage counselor in San Diego I see it all the time.Because if you are not able to communicate effectively, any small thing can turn into a huge problem.Being able to communicate effectively helps to prevent that.

So as a family therapist San Diego one of the biggest things I do is try to teach the couple how to communicate.  One of the biggest keys to communication is listening.Most people when they think of communicating think it is about talking.But truthfully if you are unable to listen very well, you won't really be able to understand each other.So by assisting the couple to learn how to listen better, it will greatly improve their communications.

By recognizing this sign couples can know trouble may be brewing.Now if the couple can spot this problem early in their relationship, they might be able to avoid some serious problems. From what I have witnessed, the optimum way to solve some problems is to completely avoid them.  But if not recognized early, best way to solve them is to learn how to communicate.Sounds elementary but it can and will have a positive effect.
