Couple’s Therapy: Is It for You?


Marriage is a complicated and intricate union. Each couple comes across a different set of problems and each couple has different ways of coping. Not just interpersonal differences, there are a lot of external factors that play a part in the dynamics of a couple. In India, family relations, relatives, sociology-economic background of both the people, personal goals and aims play very important roles in how the couple copes with marital problems. While seeking help of a relationship advisor is still its nascent phase of popularity, recent cultural shift has definitely made it an option to be considered for couples of having marital problems. Most of the times, couples usually sit on the fence when it comes to therapy because of societal conditioning that starts from the moment we can understand words. In our culture, couples are not allowed to have problems, or if they do have any issues, they are supposed to be solved behind closed doors. However, nowadays, couples, especially in urban India, are open to counselling. So, what are some telltale signs that you might be in need for some therapy as a couple? Let’s have a look.

One of the most common signs of troubles, or saturation in a marriage is lack of communication. If you are reluctant about sharing ideas or just share certain details about your day with your partner, you may have reached a point where family therapy is the only way to move forward. A family therapist can reinvigorate your relationship by suggesting new techniques to find a way where communication gets flowing again. Also, there is an advantage of bringing in a new person to look at the problems in a more objective way. What that does is that it gives both the people a new perspective and can, in a lot of cases, be the pivotal change. The advisor can help you find that fire in your relationship again which can be the beginning of a new dawn in the marriage.

Another sign that you need a relationship advisor is that you argue on trivial matters. This also happens when you have reached a point in your relationship where you stop caring about the other person’s opinion. A marriage and family therapist is equipped with techniques to help you through this rut. If both the people in the marriage are willing to work on their issues and come out of it a happier couple, then therapy can do wonders. These therapists come with a lot of experience and tools that can open doorways to a more relaxed and thoughtful dialogue. This dialogue can be the pivotal turn in a marriage which can mend the broken past and set the couple on a way where future arguments are more concerned and open. If you think you have been going through something similar in your marriage in recent times, maybe it is time that you sit with your partner and discuss the possibility of seeking therapy as a couple.

MENDING AND HEALING RELAITONSHIPS

There is no relationship in the world that does not face problems between the two people. When we talk about a relationship, we have to keep in mind that we are talking about two different individuals coming together to form a beautiful bond of love. Two people with different ideologies and different thinking striving to be accommodating of each other’s needs and maintaining a balance in their own. This system of accommodating and acceptance is going to have a little bit of friction leading to minor fights. But what is important, is how the two people make up after the fight and whether they accept and move on from the incident. Sometimes, a fight or a situation can be so gruesome that both or one of the individuals cannot let go of it. That is when they need the help of a relationship advisor who may be a friend close to the family, a family member or a professional who is trained to deal with couples’ issues on a daily basis. This relationship advisor’s main aim is to first...

We all face different types of problems in our life. These can be problems in different areas in our lives. It could be our work, our family, our love life, relationship with our friends, career related or something else. Nobody is totally happy and without problems in life. But we have been bestowed with the ability to face these situations and find a solution for these problems on day to day basis. This is how life works after all.
