As a therapist specializing in couples counseling, I am often asked if all couples can benefit from counseling. My unequivocal response is always, ‘Absolutely!’ Just as our vehicles and homes require maintenance for optimal performance, safety, and to prevent expensive repairs, so too do relationships.
This is especially true of the relationship most people consider their most important. According to the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, 90% of couples find therapy advantageous. Furthermore, VeryWell Mind reports that 68% of couples believe it is preferable to initiate marriage counseling before significant issues arise.
Communication skills are essential to a healthy relationship. Improving and enhancing communication skills should be a continuous endeavor for all couples. Effective communication allows each partner to articulate their feelings, needs, and concerns in a constructive and respectful manner, often preventing minor issues from escalating into major conflicts.
Every married couple encounters challenging situations at some point, even those who are content in their marriage. During these times, having someone to offer tools and strategies can be invaluable in helping partners tackle the situation while simultaneously deepening their intimacy and commitment.
Despite the financial implications of marriage counseling, 94% of couples view marriage counseling as a worthwhile investment, and 83% prioritize it. Even couples who ultimately part ways report that marriage counseling has enhanced their relationship satisfaction and communication.
