For licensed psychologists such as Dr. Sam Klein Von Reiche, marriage or relationship counseling, or more popularly known as couples therapy, need not be added stress for partners. The most important thing is for couples to acknowledge that conflict between partners is normal and universal.
The ultimate purpose of couples therapy is to help partners recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationship; resolution may mean rebuilding the relationship or going separate ways.
Licensed therapists note that most couples who seek counseling aim to address various issues, including communication problems, sexual difficulties, conflicts about child rearing or blended families, substance abuse, financial problems, anger, infidelity, and divorce. Sometimes counseling is also helpful in cases of domestic abuse.

The decision to go to marriage counseling can be tough. However, seeking help is more effective than hoping problems will get better on their own.
