When you should consider Relationship Therapy
Are you and your partner in a rut and struggling to connect after years of being together? Have you stopped communicating effectively with each other and feel unheard and misunderstood?
Many relationships face these common challenges:
- Communication difficulties
- Unresolved or long-standing arguments
- Intimacy concerns felt by one or both partners
- Life changes or fears of upcoming disruptions
- Parenting disagreements
What is Couples Therapy?
Whether you are in a traditional relationship or something less conventional, couples therapy may help you and your partner navigate and resolve issues in your relationship. Marriage counseling provides a safe and structured environment where two people can openly discuss their concerns, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional connection.
A specially-trained marriage therapist will guide you and your partner through different techniques and exercises to address your specific challenges, such as communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, relationship anxiety, and significant life changes. By fostering understanding and empathy, couples counseling will help you rebuild trust, enhance relationship satisfaction, and promote a healthier partnership.

How can you get ready for Couples Counseling?
Since you are reading this page, chances are that something in your relationship is amiss. The biggest advice that we can offer is Don’t Wait! Often, couples come to marriage therapy too late, when there has been too much water under the bridge and there is not enough time or energy for reconciliation. Don’t ignore your issues or let things get out-of-hand. Your partnership is too important and too special to simply let go.
However, bringing up the idea of couples counseling can feel intimidating though, and it’s not uncommon for the other person to react defensively. Your partner might have biases or stigmas against marriage counseling, or feel discouraged that the relationship needs extra assistance.
Here are a few tips to help navigate this conversation:
- Don’t bring up the topic of therapy during a fight: If you do this, it will likely come across as a jab rather than an expression of love. This conversation is best had with your partner in a calm, quiet moment.
- Be open to your partner’s reaction: They may feel apprehensive and even reject the idea at first. This is natural because relationship therapy involves getting vulnerable in front of a stranger. Be patient and ask about their perspective, including what they believe could be worked on within the relationship.
- Consider the impact on the rest of your family, especially children. Family counseling, or child and teen therapy may be worth considering, depending on your situation.
