Kayley and Andrew got married six months ago, and from the outside, they appear as though they couldn’t be happier. Both of them are still doing well at their jobs, and their friend groups have still been able to enjoy their company, despite being newlyweds. Everything seems to be going well for both partners, except for when they’re alone. After dinner, Kayley’s waves of anxiety seem to reverberate throughout the house—although she doesn’t mean to, she often becomes overwhelmed thinking about the next day’s tasks and challenges. When Kayley gets stressed, she verbally lashes out at Andrew, who tends to retaliate with hurtful words of his own.
Neither Kayley nor Andrew wants to continue fighting, and that’s why they’ve decided that it’s time for them to consider marriage counseling for their relationship’s toughest issues. Although neither of them has been to therapy or counseling before, both partners are ready to engage with their marriage counselor and to learn to communicate effectively and healthily. With a renewed ability to compromise and set boundaries, Kayley and Andrew hope that their relationship will recover as they work their way through marriage counseling.

Do We Need to Talk with a Counselor or Therapist?
Deciding whether or not to talk with one of our providers is a personal decision that you and your spouse or partner will need to make independently. However, we still believe that any couple, regardless of their relationship’s age or situation, can benefit from counseling or therapy services. In fact, couples therapy and marriage counseling at Thriveworks isn’t about being perfect or happy in our relationship all of the time. Instead, it’s about learning to be honest, open, and willing to compromise with our partner.
If you’re in a relationship that’s suffering from unhealthy or negative dynamics, it’s possible that you’re experiencing:
- Arguments that last for hours or days
- Passive-aggressive or abusive behavior

- Cheating
- Avoiding physical touch or sex
- Lying and other forms of emotional manipulation
