Couples Therapy for long term committed non-married couples in Short Hills NJ

The problems presented by long term, committed unmarried couples are similar to those of married couples.

Couples typically argue about:

• Emotional insecurity (why doesn’t my partner want to marry me? Am I not enough?)

• Physical intimacy (Too little . . . too much . . . how much is the right amount?) 

• Jealousy and infidelity (How can I trust that my partner is being faithful?) 

• Fear of arguing (My partner may leave if I voice how I truly feel…)

• Parenting styles (One parent is too permissive; the other parent is too tough . . . who’s correct?)

• Finances (One partner is tight-fisted, the other is a spender. How do you create a financial plan that honors the need to save with the need to enjoy life?)

• Step-children (Blending families together, balancing the needs of husbands and wives along with the needs of the children, is the difficult task to master in subsequent marriages).
