Often homework assignments will be given to the couple to continue the work of the sessions outside of the psychologists office. How long will it take?
The length of time that marital therapy takes depends primarily on the couple and their goals. Some couples can be helped immensely by one or two visits, but for other couples marital therapy may be an ongoing process. It is important to ask about length of treatment. Many couples contract for a particular length of time and then evaluate their progress with the therapist before contracting for more sessions.
