Who Can Seek Couples Counseling?

Couples counseling is for anyone in a relationship whether you are married, considering marriage, or not married. You may be surprised to learn that many couples therapists work with couples who have no issues at all. They just want to build a strong foundation for their future.

Premarital Counseling vs. Couples Counseling

The only difference between premarital counseling and couples counseling is – well – one couple is planning a wedding and the other may not be at that point or even considering marriage. There are many pivotal moments in an individual’s life. Some of those milestones require much thought going into the decision that needs to be made. Now add a second human to the mix who may have a different perspective, which can be good or bad. Counseling can help couples navigate such situations and create a safe environment for each of you to be vulnerable and apt to listen more attentively to the other or an impartial third party.

When is the Best Time to Start Counseling?

The very first sign of an issue should be the red flag to alert you that something needs to be addressed. The sooner it is dealt with, the better your future will be. Think about it. If you and your partner start arguing over something you feel is little but you just sweep it under the rug, what happens? The root of the problem is never resolved. That gives way to the issue growing into something bigger that will inevitably create greater dissension down the road. That’s not the only time. If you and your partner are facing a big life decision such as moving, a new job, taking care of another family member, you should approach that decision with the help of couples counseling.
