Every relationship has ups and downs, but sometimes the challenges start to feel too heavy to handle alone. Couples therapy can help when you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward together. It offers a safe space to talk, understand each other better, and rebuild your bond. If you’re facing repeated arguments, trust issues, or changes that are causing stress, therapy can help you reconnect and strengthen your relationship. Common signs include:
