Is it time for therapy?

When you feel like you've tried everything but issues still arise in your relationship and frustrations ensue it might be time to seek the support of a therapist.

My first goal will be to restore communication,  create a safe space and explore some of the issues that are showing up and creating friction between you and your partner. 

Couples counseling can help to deal with issues of conflict, improve communication, increase physical and emotional intimacy, heal past hurts and grievances, and develop more realistic expectations of each  other and your relationship.
