Couples Therapy
Marriage counseling can help couples in all types of intimate relationships — gay or straight, married or not.
“It's a myth that if you solve your problems you'll automatically be happy. We need to teach couples that they'll never solve most of their problems.” -- John Gottman
Some couples seek marriage counseling to strengthen their bonds and gain a better understanding of each other. Marriage counseling can also help couples who plan to get married. This pre-marriage counseling can help couples achieve a deeper understanding of each other and 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 problems
- Sexual difficulties
- Conflicts about child rearing or blended families
- Substance abuse
- Financial problems
- Anger
- Infidelity
- Divorce
