Distress in a relationship, regardless of the reason, can lead to many negative outcomes. People you work with, family members, and acquaintances may all feel obliged to take sides in a dispute between the two parties involved. Maybe you’re hoping your relationship problems will resolve themselves. On the other hand, a toxic relationship can only worsen over time, perhaps leading to serious health issues like depression if not addressed.

The following are some of the most often addressed concerns in marriage counseling sessions:

Infidelity
Divorce
Problems with substance use
Health issues, whether mental or bodily
Relationship problems between people of the same gender
Conflicts of culture
Finances
Unemployment
Multiple-parent households
Issues with Communication
Relationship issues
Disputes arising from differences in parenting styles
Infertility
Anger
role transitions like retirement
