A measure of success in couples counseling is a couple’s ability to talk directly to each other about their relationship. This is what differentiates successful couples from unsuccessful couples.

Many couples in counseling lack this ability, and couples counseling is the training ground to restore it. Whether a couple is talking about a recent conflict, a relationship theme, or their relationship status, they need to have a respectful conversation about issues in their relationship.

The couples counselor will intervene when a conversation breaks down and guide the couple on how to be successful. By improving their dialogue, couples can create success.
