You’re in a relationship and not sure if you’re happy.
You know that you like your partner, or at least you used to, but you are struggling to enjoy their company lately. The thought of couples therapy has crossed your mind. How do you know that it’s time to start couples counseling? Read ahead for the answer to this and other questions you may have.
Short answer:
If you are considering couples counseling, it’s probably time to give it a shot.
Longer answer:
All couples go through good and bad times. Some days are easy and feel like magic. Other days, you look at your partner wondering whatever got into you.
For some couples, something happens that throws the relationship out of whack: a new job, a new baby, a parent moving in, etc. This added stress can strain a relationship in ways that it has not been prepared for, changing a previously happy couple into one that argues constantly, or worse, has stopped caring altogether. For other couples, they may not have been truly happy from the start.
Couples therapy is an opportunity to write the next chapter of the story of your relationship.
If reading this made you feel a sense of dread, like maybe your relationship isn’t where you want it to be, it’s time to seriously consider getting signed up for couples counseling.
Questions you may have:
Q: Nothing bad has really happened, we’re just not happy. Is there any hope?
A: Absolutely! A couples therapist can help reignite the love and excitement that originally brought you two together.
Q: Does starting couples therapy mean that we’re destined to break up?
A: Far from it. Couples that are willing to be honest with themselves and reach out for help are already demonstrating the strength that is essential to a long-term relationship. Relationships are hard work. A couples therapist can help guide your effort in a way that nurtures your relationship into what you always dreamed it could be.
Q: I’ve already decided that I want to leave him. Is couples therapy even worth it?
A: Yes! Seeing a counselor during this time can help ease the tension and smooth the transition. For others, they are 90% sure that they want to leave but there’s still a small part of them that isn’t certain. Couples therapy is the ideal setting to satisfy that 10% of you that is holding onto the hope of a happy and stable relationship.
