Frequenty Asked Questions

Relationship counseling, also called couples therapy or couples' counseling, is a type of psychotherapy. This type of counseling helps couples of all types to explore, recognize, and resolve conflicts in an effort to improve their relationships and interactions.

Couples therapy can be very effective. The American Psychological Association (APA) states that marriage counseling that uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is effective and helpful for about 75% of couples. Additionally, meta-analysis shows that close to 90% see significant improvement after going through EFT

There are many different types of relationships. This section focuses on four types of relationships: Family relationships, Friendships, Acquaintanceships and Romantic relationships.

How long does couple's therapy last? This depends on several factors, including the therapist's treatment modality, the severity of conflict within the dynamic, and each partner's readiness for change. It is likely that at minimum, treatment may last 8-10 weeks, however this is highly variable.

What are Relationship Issues?

Relationship issues are conflicts, problems, and issues that affect a romantic partnership like marriage. While there is nothing like a perfect relationship, and you can expect highs and lows, some fights, and arguments, the issues, if left unaddressed can cause a rift between the partners. Relationship counselling resolves the conflicts and issues you’re facing in the relationship that affects your family and stops you from escalating the peaceful surrounding.

These affect the quality of the relationship, cause resentment to brew, make the environment toxic, and pave way for hostility and breakup. As per Gulf News, 62% of couples divorce within 4 years of marriage.

What Are The Effects of Relationship Issues?

The impact of unresolved relationship issues can vary from person to person, but some common issues and consequences include:

  • Stress
  • Contempt for the partner
  • Infidelity
  • Lack of love and appreciation
  • Bitterness
  • Rifts, that cause partner to drift apart
  • Low self-esteem
  • Mental health issues
  • High anxiety levels
  • Abuse
  • Stonewalling
  • Increased defensiveness
  • Bad for physical health, causing problems like poor heart health, weight issues, lowered immunity, etc.
  • Increase self-doubt
  • Loneliness
  • Insecurity
  • Lowered productivity and motivation

What Are Some of the More Common Relationship Issues?

Communication issues

Communication issues result when partners are:

  • Not listening to each other

  • Not talking to each other honestly
  • Things are getting lost in translation
  • Not directly communicating with each other

Lack of effective communication leads to misunderstandings, conflict, adversity, and other problems.

Attachment Issues in a Relationship

Attachment issues occur when one person does not feel safe in the relationship. Such people also have trouble trusting their partners, which could lead to conflict then. Some issues that can result include:

  • Partner feeling insecure
  • Lack of comfort with the partner
  • Not prioritizing the partner
  • Inability to see a future with your partner

  • When there is a dearth of adequate resources
  • One partner is not contributing as they should
  • A partner is spending money carelessly
  • One partner is hogging the money
  • The autonomy to spend the money is taken away from the partner

Age Disparity Issues

It is also common to run into issues due to age disparity, for example, older men younger, and woman relationship issues are more common than ballpark same-age couples.

When either of the partners is too old or too young, it could lead to differences in outlook, which can affect the relationship. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule.
