• Good Carma for Your Marriage

    Welcome to Good Carma for Your Marriage!  This is the first blog entry of Carma Kuhn, Licensed Mental Health Counselor.  You might be wondering if “Carma” is my real name…(I get that question a lot.)  Well, yes, it is.  My mother named me after her mother and little did she know when she chose that name for me that one day I would grow up to be a therapist!

    After being married for 40 years (to the same man) and raising 3 children into adulthood, you can imagine I have experienced a vast array of life’s good times, bad times, rough times, smooth times, and all the times in between.  I am excited to begin this blog to share tips, secrets, tools, and ideas that will help your marriage.  Come back every two weeks for helpful information for you and your relationship.

    Topics to be looking for include:

    • How to Rebuild Trust
    • Fighting Fair – What does that Look Like?
    • Adding More Fun
    • Reigniting the Romance
    • What Forgiveness is NOT
    • And a whole lot more!
