Marriage therapists work with married couples to either help them handle marital discord or improve their existing relationship.
Trained professionals practice marital and family therapy to teach couples various techniques to resolve their conflicts and enhance communication.
Typically, you will find a therapist working with the couple together, at first, and eventually working with each individual as well. Individual counseling helps the person to open up and share their true feelings with the therapist.
Therapists also identify and diagnose mental or personality disorders that could be causing the rift between the couple.
Mostly, a therapist will counsel couples on improving relationships, give advice on child rearing, home management, and managing finances to name a few.
