The advice columnist Ann Landers once wrote, “All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love.” Couples can learn to use conflict as an opportunity to enhance their bonds. As Landers continued, “Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principles of equal partnership.” Constructive is the key word there. “Good” arguments can lead to increased intimacy. 

The licensed couples therapists and marriage counselors at Thriveworks in Eden Prairie, MN have the psychological insight to help teach couples how to resolve their differences and grow stronger through both harmony and conflict. The therapists at Thriveworks can help couples take their relationships to a higher level, where husbands, wives, domestic partners, and significant others feel safe, secure, and loved, even when they’re experiencing disagreements. 

What Are the Benefits of Couples Therapy or Marriage Counseling?

People seek out the couples therapists and marriage counselors at Thriveworks in Eden Prairie, MN for all kinds of reasons, both small and large. But as anyone who’s ever been in an intimate relationship knows, sometimes the small things punch above their weight. For example, people have been known to get divorced because someone refuses to do the dishes. But is the divorce really about the dishes, or something bigger? Open and honest communication under the guidance of a professional counselor can help answer those kinds of difficult questions.

Here are some of the possible motivations a couple may have for seeking out a licensed marriage counselor at Thriveworks:

  • I want us to model a healthy relationship for our kids.
  • Things feel stagnant. I want us to reignite our spark. 
  • I’m sick of fighting. And I want to stop having the same fight over and over without ever advancing emotionally.
  • I want to feel more trusting or trusted.
  • I want to feel less angry, or stop holding a grudge. 
  • I want to improve our sex life.
  • I want to feel appreciated.
  • I want to explore separation or divorce.
  • I want to be a better communicator.
  • I want him/her to be more emotionally available. 
  • We need help healing after a death or trauma.

Who Sees Couples Therapists?

People often have the misapprehension that only married couples headed for divorce court need to see a marriage counselor, but that’s just not true. Secure and successful couples with enduring, happy marriages or domestic partnerships have spoken up about the benefits of long-term marriage counseling and couples therapy. For example:

  • Barack and Michelle Obama
  • Pink and Carey Hart
  • Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard
  • Will and Jada Pinkett Smith
  • Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott

Couples therapy at Thriveworks in Eden Prairie, MN can be a safe place to explore issues within a marriage before emotions begin to fester. And talking openly about problems and pain points can help prevent larger conflicts in the future.

Before you see a couples therapist, you and your partner should come up with a list of questions like the following:

  • Is the marriage counselor fully licensed? (Thriveworks marriage and family therapists in Eden Prairie, MN are fully licensed LMFTs.)
  • Does the therapist take my insurance? (Thriveworks mental health providers accept most health insurance.)
