Couples therapy, also known as marriage counseling or relationship therapy, is a type of therapy that involves working with both partners in a romantic relationship to improve the quality of their relationship and resolve any issues they may be experiencing.

The goal of couples therapy is to help partners improve communication, build intimacy, and strengthen their emotional connection. Couples therapy can be beneficial for couples at any stage of their relationship, whether they are newlyweds or have been together for many years.

Couples therapy is typically conducted by a licensed mental health professional with specialized training in working with couples. During sessions, the therapist may use various techniques, such as active listening, conflict resolution, and problem-solving exercises, to help partners identify and address the underlying issues in their relationship.

Common issues that couples may seek therapy for include communication problems, sexual difficulties, infidelity, financial issues, and differences in parenting styles. Through the therapy process, couples can learn new skills and strategies to improve their relationship and increase their overall satisfaction and happiness.
