What To Expect During Couples Therapy

Marriage is a unique, privileged, life-fulfilling, and powerful relationship. Marriage is work, as most anyone will tell you.

However, most people fail to tell you what “work” looks like or at what point you should “work” on your marriage.

Clearly, this vital detail eludes many as the divorce rate booms at 51-54% for the State of Georgia, and over 40% nationally.

As your marriage counselor, and with your commitment to our work together, I will help both of you understand how to reclaim, heal and fortify your marriage. Your communication will markedly improve. You will obtain vital insights about yourself and your partner.

You will also gain understanding and appreciation of your role in the marriage. Perhaps the most important benefit of all is that you will gain practical knowledge on how to maximize your marriage, re-establish closeness and intimacy. Finally you will learn how to protect your marriage against infidelity, “irreconcilable differences, growing apart,” and even prevent divorce. Time is not on the side of a hurting couple.

Why Couples Choose Meyer Counseling

What to Expect (Session 1 and Beyond)

• Session 1 (Approximately 75 Minutes): We’ll clarify goals, map strengths, and determine initial steps.
• Between Sessions:  Simple home practices that lower conflict and raise connection.
• Progress Checks: Measurable milestones that show you what’s working.

Frequency starts weekly and tapers as skills stick. Intensives are an option if a weekly hour isn’t enough.

How Therapy Works Here

1) Clarity & Alignment:  Define shared goals (trust, intimacy, teamwork).

2) Communication Reset:  Learn skills that reduce defensiveness and increase listening.

3) Repair & Reconnect:  Address hurts and stuck topics with step-by-step exercises.



 4) Protect the Wins:  Build rituals, boundaries, and a simple maintenance plan.

Challenges We Commonly Tackle

• Communication breakdowns and constant arguing.
• Infidelity recovery and rebuilding trust.
• Feeling distant, low desire, or mismatched intimacy needs.
• Parenting differences, step-family stress, and boundary issues.
• Anger, stress, anxiety, and work-life strain impacting the relationship.

Marriage Counseling Mini-Intensives

When you need focused time and faster traction, a 1–2 day Mini-Intensive helps you go deeper, without the stop-start of weekly sessions.

You’ll get:

• A structured roadmap for communication, repair, and reconnection.
• Extended time to resolve gridlocked topics.
• Targeted follow-ups to lock in progress.
