As an LDS couple, your relationship means more to you than just this life. You have a deep belief that your marriage is eternal. If your relationship is struggling, this can cause even more distress because you’ve made promises to each other and God. You want to do anything you can to make your marriage last and be a happy relationship. It’s hard not to feel like you are failing or letting God down when your marriage is struggling. You might hesitate to reach out for marriage counseling because you believe your faith, prayer, and scripture study should be enough. You might also feel that your bishop or stake president is sufficient enough to help you work through your struggles. The truth is maybe you need more tools to help strengthen your relationship that you don’t have quite yet, and marriage counseling can help.

You want to be able to trust your spouse and to be able to make decisions that are best for your family together. Your relationship may need help to heal from the impact pornography addiction has had on your marriage. You may have experienced miscarriage and infertility as a couple, and it can be difficult to know how to navigate these painful experiences as a couple. These traumatic experiences sometimes cause a couple to grow apart, and marriage counseling can help you reconnect again.

Common Reasons Why LDS Couples Attend Marriage Counseling

While everyone’s reason for reaching out for help is different, here are some of the common reasons why LDS couples seek marriage counseling:

  • Infertility or miscarriage

  • Pornography use

  • Parenting challenges

  • Struggling with perfectionism

  • Growing apart

  • Changing spiritual and religious beliefs

  • Betrayal trauma

  • Conflict with in-laws and family members

  • Communication difficulties

  • Sexual intimacy issues

I have worked with other LDS couples who are struggling with their marriage, and they have been able to feel more connected in their marriages. You can have a happy and healthy marriage! You can feel how you felt about your spouse when you were dating and on the day you were married.

I know your marriage is important to you, and I know you’ll do anything to improve it. Your commitment towards your spouse and the hard work you are willing to do is the secret sauce to having a better eternal relationship.

Marriage counseling is effective and can help you work through difficult conversations, develop skills, and learn how to talk to each other in ways that make you feel understood and safe.

Marcus Hunt Therapy’s approach to LDS Marriage Counseling

I help LDS couples create the relationship they want by using Emotionally Focused Therapy techniques and The Gottman Method. This is a fancy way of saying I help couples connect emotionally and learn to communicate with each other better. This type of therapy focuses on the science of love, attachment, and what makes marriages succeed or fail. The therapy styles I use to help LDS couples are based on research and have been proven to be successful.

You might be hesitant to begin marriage counseling because it feels vulnerable. You might be worried as a couples therapist that I might judge your marriage. It can also be difficult to admit that you need help and don’t want anyone to know you don’t have it all together. I understand those feelings, and I also want you to be reassured that I’m committed to helping you create the type of relationship you want, and I’m not here to judge you. We are all human and need help from time to time. You won’t regret working on your marriage, as many couples have told me they are happy they attended marriage counseling.

Online Marriage Counseling in Utah

One barrier that couples have is finding the time and access to marriage counseling, preventing them from starting the process. I offer online therapy in Utah to couples, so they don’t have to worry about traffic or commute time. Online counseling is just as effective as in-person therapy and sometimes even more effective. Online counseling also means that I can help you strengthen your marriage wherever you are in Utah. If you are located in St. George, Logan, or Salt Lake City, I’m here to help.
