The Counseling Connection

Michele Louviere, director of counseling, Celebration Church, MetairieQuestion: Overall, I have a good relationship with my spouse, but we struggle with handling conflict.

Having a bad argument can quickly rob us of our feelings of closeness. Can you help us?
Michelle Louviere responds: Handling conflict is a challenge for all couples. In a few moments, a couple can go from being intimate to feeling frustrated, isolated and wounded.

Unresolved conflict can lead to a couple building walls of protection around their hearts that can eventually result in a broken relationship.
