Have you ever considered attending couples therapy or marriage counseling? Many people fear that their pursuing this form of therapy is admittance that their relationship is failing. In reality, pursuing this form of therapy showcases just how much you care about your relationship. On that note, couples therapy isn’t just for those who are hanging by a thread—couples therapy and marriage counseling are also for those who’d simply like a counselor’s help in improving their relationship!

A relationship means you come together to make each other better.

It’s not all about you, and it’s not all about them. It’s all about

the relationship. Support them in their dreams/visions just as much

as you would expect them to support you.”

–Trent Shelton

If you and your significant other are facing challenges in your relationship or you simply think that there is room for improvement in your relationship, consider working with a relationship expert. Thriveworks Counseling has both couples therapists and marriage counselors on our Frederick, MD team who would be happy to help you and your partner make any necessary changes to your current dynamic. These professionals possess the skills, the training, the techniques, and the experience to make a meaningful difference in both of your lives.

What Is the Purpose of Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling?

Couples therapy meets couples where they are and then equips them with the tools to improve their relationships. Here are a few quick facts about how therapy for couples works:

  • Couples therapy can help couples grow and improve their relationships
  • Couples therapy proves more effective when couples pursue it shortly after experiencing problems
  • Many people are reluctant to begin couples therapy, due to the stigma we mentioned earlier
  • Oftentimes, one partner is hesitant and needs some additional encouragement
  • No matter the specifics, couples therapy helps people address and manage their relationship issues

Do you think that your relationship might benefit from a couples therapist’s intervention? Are you interested in couples therapy, but your partner is hesitant to take the leap? Are you worried about what other people might think if they find out that you’re in couples therapy? We understand the reservations that you might have. However, if you think that your relationship could find strength and renewal in therapy, we encourage you to give it a try. There is nothing to be afraid of or ashamed of.

Who Should Pursue Couples Therapy? Do We Need It?

As we mentioned earlier, your relationship doesn’t have to be hanging by a thread for you to find value in couples therapy. Yes, therapy is a great option for those who are severely struggling, but those aren’t the only clients we see in couples therapy at Thriveworks Counseling. We also see couples who are looking to bolster or improve their already happy relationship.

That said, couples therapy is designed to help couples work through their issues (big and small). Here are some of the most common relationship issues addressed in couples therapy:

  • Feelings of jealousy
  • Lack of trust
  • Betrayal
  • Financial discord
  • Infidelity
  • Opposing visions for the future
  • Differing values/beliefs
  • Parental disagreements
  • Lack of intimacy

If any of the above are present in your relationship, we encourage you to pursue therapy as soon as possible. As we mentioned earlier, the sooner you pursue professional help in the face of adversity, the better for your relationship!
