Factors of everyday life can put an abundant strain on a relationship. Severe stressors may include resentment, infidelity, intimacy issues, lack of trust, and miscommunication. When problems go unresolved, or a partner is suffering from mental illness or health complications, one can feel helpless or have feelings of guilt or shame. Effective communication techniques on both parts can alleviate emotional anxiety from various subjects.

Couples often seek marriage counseling when the relationship is at a standstill or if they are unsure whether or not the relationship is worth salvaging. This type of therapy can benefit families with children who have been affected by relationship issues such as divorce and can help confront the source of the conflict.

Treatment techniques may include the following depending on the therapist:

- Analyzing Your Communication

- Getting to the root of the problem

- Enhancing Intimacy

- Individual Counseling

- Couple Retreat

When a relationship is showing signs of addiction, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and/or severe depression, seek guidance from a counselor immediately, for your safety and your partner.
