People change. Relationships change, too.

Personal relationships are considered to be an essential component of a fulfilled life. They endow meaning, give strength and are often the basis for a happy family.

A relationship itself however changes and develops, too. Almost every couple encounters difficult situations in the course of their relationship. Patterns of communication which had always worked suddenly don't function anymore. Reasons for this can be changing roles or tasks within the relationships, such as the beginning of new life phases: children may be born or move out, or professional perspectives may change.

Personal developments or changes in a partner can also cause crisis. Most couples overcome change well, because they feel mutual trust and a deep connection. However, sometimes couples desire accompanying support in tackling these situations.

On the one hand a situation of conflict can be an opportunity for deepening mutual understanding and for intensifying a shared togetherness. At the same time however we experience moments of extreme uncertainty - partners doubt each other, are annoyed at each other and experience the conflict as a threat to the relationship. In these cases a couple mediation can help to overcome uncertainties and find a joint solution.

Is the feeling still alive but communication no longer possible without a referee?
Even a noncommittal conversation is often a small miracle already.
