What is couples therapy?

Couples therapy is a type of psychotherapy that addresses issues that affect a relationship. The therapy allows both partners to express their concerns to the same therapist. It is often relied upon when a partnership is undergoing a rough patch.

Couples therapy can help two individuals deal with various issues in their relationship, ranging from communication issues, lack of intimacy, conflicts, trust issues, frequent arguing, etc.

The primary goal of couples therapy is to help two individuals in a relationship better understand each other, navigate issues, improve their bond, and find a way forward. Both unmarried and married couples can benefit from couples therapy.

What is marriage counseling?

Marriage counseling has a similar purpose: to tackle problems a married couple faces. It aims to identify the problematic areas and change the patterns to ensure a healthier marriage.

Marriage counseling is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on resolving communication barriers, conflicts, and other issues between married couples. It involves two partners consulting a therapist to talk about the challenges in their relationship, build trust, and strengthen their emotional connection.

What are the differences between couples therapy and marriage counseling?

While the goal of both couples therapy and marriage counseling is the same, there are some key differences:

  • Marriage counseling specifically targets married people, unlike couples therapy in which people can be romantically involved but unmarried.
  • Marriage counseling has a shorter duration with specific goals, like improving communication. It is about the couple’s present..
  • Couple therapy is more comprehensive and involves looking at past issues, traumas, and conflicts to gain deeper insights to the individual’s behavior.
  • Unlike couples therapy, marriage counselling can be done simply to improve the quality of the relationship before things get worse, for example, premarital counselling.
  • The training required to be a marriage counsellor and a couples therapist is different.

When should you get couples therapy and marriage counselling?

You should get couples therapy and marriage counselling in the following situations:

  • Inability or difficulty communicating with your partner.
  • Frequent fights, animosity, and disconnect.
  • Not feeling in love with your partner or being indifferent to them.
  • Trust issues.
  • Sexual, mental, or physical abuse.
  • Infidelity.
  • Lack of respect, especially for personal boundaries.
  • A lopsided relationship where one partner contributes significantly more and feels unsupported by the other.
  • Intimacy issues.
  • Issues with work, finances, in-laws, children, friends or family.
  • Addictions and substance abuse.
  • Traumas and mental and physical health issues that then affect the relationship.
  • Differences in values that lead to conflict.
  • Compatibility issues.
