Communication is the most important part of a marriage and without it, you may have a difficult time being happy. In fact, communication is an important part of any relationship no matter who it is. If you are having trouble communicating with your significant other, you may benefit from some relationship counseling. Jesup has some of the top counselors in the state who will help.
Jesup is a small town in Wayne County Georgia that was incorporated in 1869. It is not known whether the town is named after Thomas Jesup, who was a general in the Second Seminole War or Morris Ketchum Jesup, a New York banker and investor in the railroad. Whoever it was named after, you and your hubby can enjoy your life here, but you may want to seek relationship counseling from one of the Jesup counselors first.

Life inevitably presents us with challenges, some larger than others. It is how we tap into our resiliency and take ownership for our lives that determines how effective we feel. Everyone at one point or another experiences feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, confusion, isolation, anger, fear and anxiety. It is not about how we banish these feelings but rather how we learn to cope with them, forgive ourselves and others, and take control of our lives back.
