Marriage counseling works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.
Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular marriage counseling sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Atlanta, GA work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.

Who Needs Marriage Counseling?
If there are areas in your marriage that you could improve, marriage counseling could prove beneficial. Let’s be honest—that’s every relationship! We can always improve our relationships and doing so can lead to greater health and happiness for each individual. Now, marriage counseling might prove particularly valuable if you and your spouse are encountering one of the following marital problems:
- You argue about the same thing, over and over again
- Your sex life is lacking

These are just a few of the many common marital conflicts. Keep in mind that it’s normal to disagree and even fight with our spouses. However, sometimes we need a little outside help to get back on track. And that’s okay.
