Does This Feel Like Your Marriage Right Now?
Fights explode out of nowhere... One comment feels like an attack, you both get defensive, and the issues never get resolved.
​​​
​
​​
​​
​​​
You don’t like who you’ve become.... Resentful, angry, anxious, always walking on eggshells. It’s exhausting to live this way.
​​​​​
​​​
​​​
​​​​
You lie in bed next to someone who feels miles away... You feel alone, abandoned, rejected. No intimacy. No passion. No connection.
​​​​​
​​​
​​​
​​​​
The same resentments surface again and again.... One wrong word reopens old wounds, and you’re right back in the fight you’ve had a hundred times.
​​​​​
​​​
​​​​
​​​​​​
Your heart is shattered by the discovery of the affair.... You want to believe the marriage can survive, but your mind keeps spiraling — questioning everything and trusting nothing.
You don’t have to keep living this way.
The fights, the distance, the mistrust — they can stop.
Your first step starts with today...
With a Free First Marriage Therapy Session.
The distance may feel too far...
The pain may feel too deep..
We go into that pain with you and help you find your way back to each other.

Helping Couples Find Relief, Rebuild Trust & Reconnect
Luke Dickens, PhD
Trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), EMDR, Attachment Based EMDR, Gottman Couples Method.
Founder of Dickens Marriage & Family Therapy Center.
I know what it’s like when the person you love most feels miles away.
Whether it’s years of unresolved conflict.
Or the shock of betrayal that turned your world upside down.
You want to feel safe, close, and understood again…
but you don’t know how to get there.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone:
Conflict & Disconnection
Little things set you both off — not because they matter.
​
But because they sit on top of years of hurt.
You try to share how you feel; they hear it as an attack.
They defend, feeling like they can’t do anything right.
You feel unheard.
The ache of distance remains.
Infidelity & Betrayal
One moment, you knew your life.
The next, discovery of the affair shattered it.
Your mind replays the lies, the images, the moments you thought were safe.
You’re afraid you’ll never be able to trust them again.
They can’t undo the pain.
The ache of broken trust remains.
