Couples Counseling at the Relationship Center of St. Louis™

What can we do for your relationship? It all depends on your goals. Our first step will be to meet you and hear your story in your own words. Once we’ve gotten to know you we can begin equipping you and your partner with new tools for expressing love and maintaining closeness.

Bill and Linda Wing have studied under John Gottman and Linda is a Certified Gottman Therapist and Workshop Leader. We use Gottman’s techniques of careful observation to provide additional insight into couples’ interactions.

One of the most fundamental approaches we teach is how to improve your marital friendship. Fostering your friendship with your partner improves all other aspects of the relationship like sex and intimacy, communication, and even just the quality of the time you spend together.

You may think that being too different from your partner means the relationship is doomed, but we take the position that differences should be recognized and managed, not resolved. We will teach you new ways of handling the areas of your relationship where your differences seem to get in the way. We’ll also teach you to approach conflicts in a more constructive and caring way.

Through the PAIRS Relationship Mastery Courses and through individual and couples therapy sessions, we teach couples new ways of showing love. In the most fulfilling relationships, both people feel emotionally open and physically close. We’ll show you how the energy of your closeness can be channeled to create a sense of shared life meaning.
