Marriage therapy is a vital form of therapy for all types of couples. Our counselors have been trained to support couples through all stages of a relationship: dating, premarital,step-parenting, and healthy divorce. Statistics show that couples who go to premarital counseling report on higher marital satisfaction. Some of the other challenges supported by marital counseling can include unemployment, culture clashes and recovering from infidelity.
Marriage counseling is an opportunity available to any couple, before, during and after marriage. Our counselors at Utah Therapy are trained in helping couples in all stages of a relationship: dating, premarital, marital, parenting, step-parenting and navigating through divorce. Every step on the path of marriage should be joyous and our therapists promote this by providing an unbiased, helping hand throughout your journey. Marriage counseling may seem the last-resort option, but statistics show that couples who engage in premarital counseling report having a 30% higher marital satisfaction than couples who do not. This implies that we should take a step towards making marriage counseling less stigmatized so that couples can feel more comfortable engaging in therapy at any stage in their relationship. Doing so will empower couples everywhere to thrive in their relationship and prevent avoidable difficulties.
We believe that premarital counseling is vital for creating happier, healthier, and more loving marriages by helping partners understand and resolve their differences before marriage. At the heart of any healthy relationship are love, understanding effective communication. With the expert support of our therapists, couples can discuss what they want from their relationship, the reasons behind their wants, and discover healthy ways to achieve them.
