MARITAL THERAPY
Marital therapy is a treatment designed to help improve a marriage by increasing communication and understanding between married partners.
Sessions are scheduled at the discretion of the clients, though are typically not more than once a week unless the married couple is facing a severe crisis. Depending on what the therapist suggests, both married partners may spend the whole session together, or the therapist may meet with each person individually before bringing the couple together.
Common recommendations from a therapist may include books to read, written or oral exercises to do and share, and trust-building games. Usually, the sessions are based on the current state of the marriage, and so the focus of the meeting may change from one week to the next.
