What is Marriage Counseling?
Marriage counseling is a specialized form of therapy designed specifically for married couples who want to improve their relationship, resolve ongoing conflicts, and strengthen their emotional connection.
Unlike general couples therapy, marriage counseling focuses on the unique dynamics, commitments, and challenges that come with the marriage relationship. It addresses issues that have developed over time and helps couples rediscover what made them choose to marry each other.
Marriage counseling can help with:
