Publisher's Summary

What if I told you there was work? I’m sure you wouldn’t believe me, and for good reason!

It’s easy to see how difficult relationships can be. If there was a totally effective method for happy, healthy relationships out there, surely someone would have packaged it up and sold it by now, right?

What is Couples Therapy and What is Couples Counseling? “Couples therapy” and “couples counseling” usually mean the same thing. There is no difference between them on a technical level.

While couples therapy can be a great way to reconnect with your partner or a magic recipe for making a relationship end the differences between you, there are many ways to make sure you keep the spark alive and the relationship healthy without seeing a professional. There are many resources out there that draw from theories or research in couples therapy.

It’s never too late (or too early) to start putting a little more effort into your relationship. If you would like to improve your connection, choose one or two of the activities and exercises described below to practice with your partner.

How to Know If You Need Marriage Counseling

If your marriage is having problems, you definitely should not wait too long to seek professional help. It may be hard to find the right counselor with the skills to help your relationship, but they are out there and willing to help. There are ways to to find a counselor specializing in marriage or couples therapy. You may have to meet with more than one to find the right fit. There are also ways to gauge if counseling will actually work for your marriage. Fortunately, we do have some information on the types of couples that get the most, and the least, from marriage counseling.

Here are some questions to consider:

• Did you marry at an early age?
• Did you not graduate from high school?
• Are you in a low-income bracket?
• Are you in an inter-faith marriage?
• Did your parents divorce?
• Do you often criticize one another?
• Is there a lot of defensiveness in your marriage?
• Do you tend to withdraw from one another?
• Do you feel contempt and anger for one another?
• Do you believe your communication is poor?
• Is there a presence of infidelity, addiction, or abuse in your marriage?

If you answered "yes" to most of these questions, then you are statistically a higher risk for divorce. It does not mean that divorce is inevitable, it may mean that you have to work much harder to keep your relationship on track. Those couples who have realistic expectations of one another and their marriage, communicate well, use conflict resolution skills, and are compatible with one another are less at risk for divorce.

Don't Wait to Get Help

If you think your marriage is in trouble, do not wait. Seek help as soon as possible. Plan to budget the money and time in this treatment. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get your relationship back on track. Be sure to find professional couples counseling or attend a marriage course or weekend experience as soon as warning signs appear.
