Individual and/or couples therapy is sometimes the only option for resolving chronic relationship conflicts. Unfortunately, some couples wait too long before they obtain professional help and guidance.
The more common problems which can lead to extreme frustration, hopelessness, and even consideration of divorce are those which tend to fall in the categories of: communication, chronic arguments, chronic anger and tension, disrespect, chronic incompatibility, lack of romance and intimacy, loneliness and lack of friendship in the marriage, infidelity, alcohol abuse, and overwhelming lifestyle pressures.
Therapy for marital and couples problems is a process over the course of time. Therapy sessions should not imitate the frustrating inability to resolve problems that a couple is having at home. When some people learn patience and constructive control over their emotions while learning to carefully express themselves, many common problems become much easier to resolve.
An essential goal for many couples is not just the resolution of problems–but also learning to have an easy marriage involving an easy friendship, an easy sexual relationship, and an overall easy partnership.
