Factors of everyday life can put significant strain on a relationship. Severe stressors may include resentment, infidelity, intimacy issues, lack of trust, and miscommunication. If problems go unresolved or when a partner is suffering from mental illness or health complications, one can feel helpless or have feelings of guilt or shame. Communicating effectively can alleviate emotional anxiety when handling all kinds of complex issues in a relationship.
Spouses and significant others often seek couples or marriage counseling when the relationship is at a standstill, or if they are unsure whether the relationship is worth salvaging. Therapy can also benefit families with children, who are doubtless affected by relationship issues such as divorce, and need help confronting the sources of conflict.
