Marriage Counseling

Marriage counseling can help couples in all types of intimate relationships–heterosexual or homosexual, married or not.

Some couples seek marriage counseling to strengthen their bonds and gain a better understanding or each other. Marriage counseling can also help couples who plan to get married. This pre-marriage counseling can help couples iron out differences before marriage.

In other cases, couples seek marriage counseling to improve a troubled relationship. You can use marriage counseling to address many specific issues, including communication, sexual difficulties, conflicts about child rearing or blended families, substance abuse, financial problems,anger, infidelity, or divorce.

Once you find a therapist, ideally both partners will attend sessions.

It’s more challenging to patch up a relationship when only one partner is willing to go to therapy, but you can still benefit by learning about your reactions and behavior in the relationship.

Marriage counseling may be short or long term, depending on the situation. Getting started and making that first phone call can be tough, but in the long run it can help you cope with a troubled relationship.
