Marriage Counseling
Research outcomes on couples counseling suggest the following:
- At the end of couple’s therapy, 75% of couples receiving therapy are better off than similar couples who did not receive therapy.
- Sixty five percent of couples report "significant" improvement based on averaged scores of marital "satisfaction."
- Most couples will benefit from therapy, but both spouses will not necessarily experience the same outcomes or benefits.
- Therapies that produce the greatest gain and are able to maintain that gain over the long amount of time, tend to affect the couple's emotional bonds and help the spouse's work together to achieve a greater level of "differentiation" or emotional maturity.
