  1. I think to work on relationship could shift a lot of things in life. I am one of those who if you have every hurt me it takes a while before I will even talk to you. Communication the best medicine for a relationship.

  2. I love how you approach relationship counseling as “an investment” – putting time, energy, and money into a commitment before determining what the final outcome is. If it’s going to have a fair chance, you definitely have to go all in!

  3. Considering the options, counseling makes so much sense. You’re right. What’s to lose? Getting through the tough times can bring you to so much more in the long run. Well worth the effort!

  4. I agree with you…before giving up on any relationship we really do need to know that we gave it all. We spend money everyday on less important matters.

    1. Thanks Nicole,
      it is an opportunity and yes better to have a buy a coffee and have your mate share it with you than a divorce. Costly business.
      Thanks for your comment,
      With Love PHilipa
