Behaviors Associated With Improved Relationship Satisfaction
Relationship distress and dissolution are reported by about one‐third of couples in the United States. Despite evidence that couple therapy is an effective treatment for relationship distress, many couples encounter barriers (e.g., cost, time, transportation, childcare) to accessing this kind of relationship help.
