What is marriage and family counseling?

Marriage counseling, also called couples therapy, helps two partners recognise and resolve conflict and improve their relationship. Family counseling, or family therapy, works with parents, children or other family members together. Sessions are led by a trained psychologist, counselor or family therapist. Counseling is usually short-term and focuses on the problems you are facing now.

Types of marriage and family counseling

Types of marriage and family counseling include:

Marriage or couples counseling

Both partners meet the counselor together to work on problems such as poor communication, trust issues, money disputes or intimacy.

Premarital counseling (counseling before marriage)

Couples meet a counselor before the wedding to talk about expectations, money, family roles and how they handle disagreements. The Government of Pakistan also runs the Aghaaz premarital counseling programme, launched with the World Health Organization in 2021.

Family therapy

The whole family, or some members, attend together. It can help with conflict between parents and children, in-law issues or the stress of a family illness.

Online marriage counseling

Many counselors on Marham offer video sessions, which help couples who live in different cities, have busy schedules or prefer the privacy of home.

Common approaches in marriage counseling

Common approaches include:

Gottman Method

The counselor first assesses the relationship through a joint session, individual interviews and questionnaires. Therapy then builds friendship, trust and healthy ways to manage conflict.

Emotionally Focused Therapy

Based on attachment theory, this approach helps partners understand the emotions and needs behind their arguments. Research reviews have found it to be one of the most effective forms of couples therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for couples

This approach helps partners notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, such as blaming or assuming the worst, and replace them with better ways to communicate and solve problems.

When should you see a marriage counselor?

Consider marriage counseling if you:

• Argue often about the same issues without solving them
• Find it hard to talk without fighting or shutting down
• Are dealing with trust issues or infidelity
• Disagree about money, children or in-laws
• Feel distant or unhappy in the relationship
• Are going through a big change, such as a new baby, a move or the loss of a job
• Are planning to marry and want to start on a strong footing

If there is violence or abuse in the relationship, your safety comes first. Speak to a professional on your own before joint sessions.

Does marriage counseling work?

For many couples, yes. In surveys by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, over three quarters of clients said their relationship improved after therapy, and almost 90% said their emotional health improved. Counseling works best when both partners attend regularly and are willing to make changes.

What happens in a marriage counseling session?

A session usually lasts 50 to 60 minutes.

1. First session: the counselor asks about your relationship, your concerns and what you hope to change.
2. Assessment: some counselors also meet each partner alone or use short questionnaires.
3. Setting goals: you agree on what to work on and roughly how many sessions you may need.
4. Ongoing sessions: you practise new ways to talk, listen and solve problems, often with tasks to try at home.
5. Review: the counselor checks your progress and adjusts the plan.

Psychologist, counselor or psychiatrist: who should you see?

Most couples see a psychologist or counselor trained in marriage and family therapy. See a psychiatrist if one partner also has a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety, that may need medicine.
