Generally, marriage counseling is a type of therapy meant to be more focused on meeting goals or getting results. During marriage therapy, couples can work through issues in their relationship, develop skills as a couple, and even address individual mental health concerns.

Premarital counseling is similar to marriage therapy, but it's meant for couples who are about to be married. Wheel it's a common misconception, couples therapy, including premarital counseling, is a good idea even in an overall healthy relationship.

Premarital counseling can help couples enter this next stage in their relationship on a positive note, while also addressing any relationship issues that could negatively impact the marriage down the line.

While the goals and results of couples therapy will vary depending on the partnership, there are many potential benefits, such as:

• Work with an objective professional: When seeing marriage counselors, you'll work with a mental health and relationship expert. They are more objective and can bring some clarity to your struggles.
• Understand more about your relationship and dynamics: With the help of your therapist, you can learn more about your relationship. This can lead to better conflict resolution and increased understanding.
• Find increased intimacy: One aspect of marriage counseling is sex therapy. While not all couples need help with physical intimacy, a mismatch of sexual desire is common. The right therapist can help couples find increased physical and emotional intimacy.
• Improve communication: Even in good relationships, issues with communication can lead to major problems. With therapy, you can learn to express yourself better and understand your partner more fully.
• Increased clarity: While many people enter marriage therapy hoping to stay together, this therapy can also offer insight about whether or not the relationship should continue. Sometimes, therapy can lead to a separation if that's the healthier outcome.

Of course, these aren't the only benefits of seeing a therapist, but these are just some ways that therapy can help your relationship.

There are various types of therapists that can provide marriage and couples counseling. You'll want to find experienced family therapists or couples counselors who have expertise working with couples, as well as providing individual therapy.

It's also important to note that there are different approaches to relationship counseling. If you receive couples therapy at OneLife Counseling, Jeremy Magin will use a variety of individual therapy and family therapy approaches to ensure both partners feel secure and happy with the sessions.

Generally, these are some of the most common types of therapy used by a family therapist in couples counseling:

• Emotionally focused therapy(EFT): Emotionally focused couples therapy is one of the most common options at any relationship therapy center or therapy office. This technique helps couples notice negative patterns in their relationship that impact attachment. Then, they can remove these negative patterns and focus on healing to a healthy relationship.
• Narrative therapy: With narrative therapy, each partner will tell their own story or narrative about the relationship and its problems. Then, the therapist helps them rewrite these stories. The goal is to create one single story that expresses the experiences of both partners.
• The Gottman method: This relationship counseling approach uses seven principles to help couples reconnect and find more empathy for one another. Therapy with the Gottman method helps couples understand their issues and discuss them. Then, they can use the seven principles to rebuild a better foundation.

While these aren't the only therapeutic approaches that marriage counselors use, they are some of the more common methods. With therapist Jeremy Magin, you can build a couple’s therapy process that uses one or multiple options to improve your relationship and your mental health.

At OneLife Counseling, you'll receive a customized therapy approach that works for both partners and as a unit. Jeremy Magin also provides supportive marriage counseling for LGBTQ+ couples.

He will work with both partners to feel comfortable and adjust sessions accordingly.

With marriage counseling, both partners can learn healthy coping skills and determine their next steps in life. Couples counseling can bring healing and relief, even if all couples don't remain together.
