Relationships aren’t always easy. They take time, commitment, and work. There are some struggles that partners go through that they may seek counseling for.
A relationship counselors can serve as a neutral third party. If couples decide to go to a counselor for marriage issues, they can expect an overall assessment of the issues. Most marital issues have at least some component of communication concern, so martial counselors often focus on effective and empathetic communication.
Counseling interventions for marital issues may also include fostering care and empathy in all facets of the relationship, spending time together, addressing specific issues and processing emotions, and reflective listening. A marital therapist may also suggest that one or both partners engage in individual therapy if they have specific mental health concerns.
