Marriage counseling is the process of counseling
the parties of a human relationship in an effort
to recognize, and to better manage or reconcile,
troublesome differences and repeating patterns of
stress upon the relationship. The relationship
involved may be between members of a family or a
couple. Couple's therapy is a subset of
relationship counseling. It may differ from other
forms of relationship counseling in various
regards including its duration. Short term
counseling may be between 1 and 3 sessions
whereas long term couples therapy may be between
12 and 24 sessions. An exception is brief or
solution focused couples therapy. In addition,
counseling tends to be more 'here and now' and
new coping strategies the outcome.
