Marriage counseling FAQs

What is marriage counseling?

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Indianapolis, IN is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within Marriage counseling include:

  • Jealousy
  • Trust issues
  • Infidelity
  • Opposing values
  • Different visions for the future
  • Disagreements in parenting
  • Lack of trust
  • Financial distress
  • Sex issues

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.
Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular marriage counseling sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.

Is marriage counseling conducted in person or online?

Marriage counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.

How long does marriage counseling last?

On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Indianapolis, IN work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.

Indianapolis, IN Marriage Therapists and Counselors

Marriage is hard, and there are no easy ways to build a long-term relationship. However, there is help. More and more, spouses are reaching out for counseling when their relationship is experiencing difficulties. Marriage counseling has helped many spouses find a way forward toward a healthier relationship.

The counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Counseling in Indianapolis, IN, have worked with many spouses, and we know that every marriage is flawed. We also know that many spouses want to make their marriage better, and we have helped them do just that through marriage counseling. Reach out to Thriveworks Indianapolis today to get started.

When Is the Right Time to Start Marriage Counseling?

When their marriage is facing difficulty, many people wonder whether now is the time to reach out for help. Deciding to start therapy is a personal decision, and in many ways, there is no right or wrong time to get started. In general, the longer problems go unaddressed, the more difficult and more widespread they can become. Here are a few examples of the challenges that have led others to pursue marriage therapy…

1) One or both spouses have cheated.

Trust is the bedrock of any healthy relationship, particularly a marriage, and cheating decimates trust. In some relationships, that trust can be restored. In other relationships, the best path forward is to part ways. In either case, a marriage therapist may help each spouse heal and move forward healthily.

2) Arguments have become the norm.

Healthy couples fight. Spouses will disagree and differ and debate at times. Marriage experts have a ratio for judging whether arguments are at a healthy level or not. For every negative interaction, spouses should have five positive ones. They call this the golden ratio, and it acknowledges that negative interactions have more power than positive ones. Many couples learn conflict resolution skills in marriage counseling that allow them to directly address a conflict and then move forward.

3) Arguments never happen.

If arguing too much is a problem, so is never arguing. The truth is that marriages consist of two individuals who have their own feelings, thoughts, and interests. When couples do not argue, it may be a sign that one spouse’s thoughts, feelings, and interests may be being pushed aside while the other’s is dominating. Marriage therapists can often help the spouses identify the underlying problem, work through it, and jumpstart healthy communication.

4) Each spouse wants to change the other.

When spouses try to change each other, they introduce frustration, disappointment, and shame into the relationship. Marriage counselors often teach spouses how to take responsibility for their own growth instead of their spouse’s.

★★★☆☆
I gave 5s above because I don’t have enough experience with this/her to have formed an opinion one way or another. I think she did a great job of letting me talk, and ask me questions for her purposes to be able to help me. After one gets to know me, I really want to be ‘analyzed’, and hear what they see that I’m doing wrong. I’ve got plenty of “atta girl!”s. I need to know the stuff that’s hard to hear about myself. And I need the actual tools to fix things. I’m a bit contrary. I’m irritated easily. And I’m oh sooo menopausal. FYI). I don’t like fluff or filler. Brass tacs please!

I love that it is much more intimate having the sessions in my own home. I am much more apt to open up more freely when I am more comfortable and that is within my own home.
