Marital Conflicts

Marital Therapy

Many a time building and maintaining healthy relationships can become difficult especially when a disease like addiction comes into the picture. The relationship may become strained over the years, thinning spread as time passes by and addiction on the other hand may add fuel to the burning fire. 

In a general sense, Marital therapy is offered under various circumstances and it consists of two basic types;

  1. Pre-Martial Counseling: As the name suggests Pre-Marital Counseling is for couples who have not yet become a part of the wedlock but are planning to be. A therapist provides a safe space to hear out the views and ideologies of the parties involved and aids the clients in understanding their compatibility, attitudes, and beliefs.
  2. Post-Marital Counseling: Post-Martial Counseling is meant to be for any kind of couple despite the time they have been together. Married couples have been through a journey that is varying in nature and may have their inclinations and incompatibilities. The concerned counselor in each case derives information and then formulate a further plan accordingly.

Marital therapy is for those who are willing and want to make changes in their relationship. Couples, therefore, undergoing any kind of stress or other altering situations can benefit from this type of therapy. These situations may revolve around;
