Young adults deal with so much pressure and they are trying to find their identity. If they have a relationship, it will be only for couple of years max. So, I think couples therapy is not effective for young adults. What do you think?
I think it can be helpful it's nice to have another adults opinion on things that doesn't take sides remains neutral and just stays objective. Now with that being said I will say that years ago I remember doing counseling with my ex-wife with the pastor of our church. And he said it does it would not matter if it was Jesus Christ himself sitting in the chair giving us the advice if we don't follow it then we would still be having the problems we were and frustrated. Both people have to be willing to talk to compromise and have the desire for the relationship to work

I believe the opposite. Couples therapy should be a requirement for the young.
I went into a marriage thinking I knew and understood everything and messed it all up. I also think couples therapy should be a requirement before getting married and while newlyweds. If you can set the right tone at the start of a relationship then the relationship will last longer.
There is nothing like having a quality third-party perspective when individuals in a couple both think they know how things should work.
i think that people's standards are too high when it comes to marriage/ relationships.
if you are with someone purely due to excitement, passion, never get married. Why? because once that extreme passion fades, what do you have left? NOTHING. This is part of the reason why couples divorce so much.
You need someone who is willing to truly stick it out with you through thick and thin. Not someone who is just only there while the passion is there but disappears once the excitement fades.
People who still need to "find themselves" should not be in a relationship at all. My husband and I have been together since we were 17 and 18, and his parents have been together since they were 17. People are either ready for a relationship or they are not.

If any couple needs therapy , that relationship is already over , save your money
Couples therapy can be a great tool for young couples, and here’s why it might work well for them:
Starting Strong: Addressing relationship issues early can prevent them from growing into bigger problems later. For young couples, learning good communication and conflict resolution skills from the start can really set a positive tone for the rest of their relationship.
Open to Change: Younger couples are often more adaptable and open to change. Therapy can provide them with practical tools and insights that help them navigate the changes and challenges they’ll face together.
Not Just for Crises: Therapy can help couples understand each other’s perspectives and expectations, which might prevent misunderstandings and conflicts in the future.
Personal Growth: Sometimes the issues in a relationship stem from personal challenges that each person is facing. Therapy can help individuals work through these issues, which can in turn make the relationship stronger.
The effectiveness of therapy really hinges on both partners being willing to engage in the process. If both people are committed, therapy can be beneficial at any stage of a relationship, including for young couples just starting out.
I personally would never go to couples therapy. No one did this back in the day and it's not needed. Relationships are easy. As long as you have emotional intelligence and communicate openly, you can talk things out pretty easily.
Couples therapy is for less intelligent people that have no clue what they're doing.I personally don't think I would do couples therapy. Either we communicate as couple and figure it ourselves or we shouldn't be together, I don't need someone else in the mix that may confuse things even more, as I've heard such cases.
No, young couples are meant to break up and move on. If they stay together at a young age and end up married there is a higher chance they’ll get a divorce and the man will lose half if not all of his resources, money as well as any kids
I'm not sure.
I do hear one of the problems with couples therapy is that one person always cares more than the other. And if one person doesn't care, then it's kind of pointless.
I've been with my wife since I was 20. You should know who you are as a person by then. If not you are too immature for a relationship anyways. Therapy can be helpful if you don't have the tools but are mature enough to apply them once you learn.
I think you have t go through life making mistakes before you can be guided, otherwise how do you learn anything?
Couple therapy helps people who’re willing to listen and who want help
VERY effective!! Some places are trying out "trial marriages" where you enter a contract for 2-3 years and then re-up for the real thing or split. GREAT IDEA! Those Europeans are innovative!
Learning how to communicate with each other can't hurt anyone.
It could be very helpful if they find a good therapist.
U-huh.
Too bad it costs money and they are probably overbooked to the point, where you can barely bother with it.
I believe every couple needs therapy young or old, especially the young ones because they don’t know shit
Couples therapy is garbage. The therapist usually sides with one side unintentionally.
Therapy doesn't work. In fact, it can make things worse because of what comes out of it.
Yes it helps
