An individual’s mental well-being is often affected by the state of their relationships with the people in their life. Whether they are family, friends or their partners of romantic interests, a rough patch or rooted problems can have an impact on the person’s bond with their closed ones. For many people, it can mainly be about their relationships with their significant other or their partners, who are involved in their life and anything that triggers distress in their companionship can have the potential to greatly influence the mental health of both the persons.

While couples therapy is still not so common in India, there are couples who are taking a step forward to undergo therapy and counselling to improve their relationships. And this is not merely restricted to married or heterosexual relationships. While therapy must not be seen from a fire-fighting mode to just solve the problem, it certainly is an option to address the elephant in the room stirring conflicts and tackling it to better a bond and save it from dire consequences, if the couples are sure about staying together. Though, thinking about therapy can be easy, but the process can be confusing for many.
