Have You Ever Wondered About the Health of Your Relationship?
At McCaskill Family Services, we believe that relationship health is extremely connected to your overall physical well- being and mental health. A Relationship Checkup is a way for you and your partner to highlight what you are doing well and discover areas of your relationship that could be made even stronger. Similar to seeking regular tune ups for your vehicle, a regular tune up for your relationship can keep it running smoothly, so that small issues don't become big problems.
How What is a Relationship Checkup?
A Relationship Checkup is a brief, evidence-based way to care for your relationship health. This two-session checkup is designed to benefit all couples, regardless of background or level of relationship distress. In just two appointments, you and your partner will work with a professional to:
- Identify your relationship's strengths, patterns, and areas of concern
- Learn useful, specific suggestions and practical solutions for potential issues
- Grow towards deeper understanding, connection, and long-lasting relationship health
But why would I get a relationship checkup if I am happy with my partner?
Would you only go to the dentist when you have an infected cavity? No! Most people go to the dentist on an annual basis for preventative cleanings and regular maintenance of their dental hygiene. The good news is that you do not need to wait until you are unhappy or distressed to check in on the health of your relationship! In fact, regular maintenance of your relationship can go a long way in preventing future problems, just like going to the dentist annually can prevent cavities. If you and your partner are experiencing relationship distress, a relationship checkup can be a good first step towards working with a professional to repair/restore your relationship health. Your relationship checkup professional may recommend engagement in on-going couples' treatment, as appropriate.
