5 Signs It's Time to Go to Couples Therapy (From a Marriage Therapist)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most couples wait too long before seeking help an average of six years after problems begin, according to research. In this episode, Bucky Bateman draws on his clinical experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist to break down the key signs that it's time to stop waiting and start getting support.
This isn't about pathologizing normal relationship struggles. It's about recognizing the patterns that don't resolve on their own, and understanding why getting help sooner rather than later dramatically improves outcomes. Bucky also addresses the common reasons couples hesitate (stigma, cost, fear of what they might uncover) and offers a realistic, compassionate perspective on what therapy actually looks like.
If you've been wondering whether couples therapy is right for you, this episode will help you decide.
