Hi Riley, seeking support is a meaningful step. You might find the book “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work” by John Gottman helpful—it offers research-backed insights that many couples find valuable alongside counseling. Also, “Where to Find Marriage Counselors” on Psychology Today’s therapist directory allows you to filter by location and specialty, which could help you discover experienced professionals in Frederick, MD. Wishing you the best.
