Hi, I’m John Sherwood of Sherwood Couples Counseling.

For nearly four decades I have worked with couples, and this is what I have observed…

Couples in conflict suffer the misery of their ongoing pain…

… they suffer openly through aggressive, verbal and physical fights — and they suffer silently as their emotional injuries mount and endure from year to year. In the end they come to believe that they have no power, that their situation is hopeless, and that their lives will be miserable forever. Ultimately these couples divorce, throwing their lives into greater chaos, or they stay together, passively and unhappily resigned to a gloomy and unfulfilled life.

Couples in conflict have a joyless existence…

… they speak only about superficial matters; they avoid important and difficult issues; they don’t have fun together; they no longer show or ask for affection; they develop solitary hobbies; they work long, unforgiving hours; they don’t have sex with each other and if they do, one partner is often silently reluctant. It is in these relationships where one or both parties often resort to alcohol, drugs, overeating, over-spending and infidelities as a way of coping with the dreariness of their inescapable misery and pain.
