Marriage is one of the most meaningful — and most challenging — relationships in life. At Evans Counseling Group, our licensed marriage counselors help couples strengthen their bond, work through conflict, and build a partnership that lasts. Whether you're navigating a specific crisis or simply want to invest in your relationship, we're here to help.
When Marriage Counseling Can Help
Marriage counseling isn't only for couples on the verge of separation. Many couples come to counseling proactively — to build stronger communication skills, navigate a life transition, or reconnect before distance grows.
Common reasons couples seek marriage counseling:
-
Recurring arguments that never fully resolve
-
Feeling more like roommates than partners
-
Recovering from infidelity or broken trust
-
Differing views on parenting, finances, or life goals
-
Emotional or physical disconnection
-
Considering separation or divorce and wanting to explore all options
-
Preparing for marriage and building a strong foundation
How We Work With Married Couples
Our therapists create a safe, neutral space where both partners feel genuinely heard. We draw from proven, research-backed approaches tailored to what your relationship needs most:
Gottman Method One of the most extensively researched approaches in couples work — focuses on deepening friendship, managing conflict constructively, and creating shared meaning as a couple.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Helps couples identify the emotional cycles keeping them stuck and rebuild a secure, lasting connection.
Communication & Conflict Skills Practical tools for having difficult conversations without damaging the relationship — learning to fight fair and listen deeply.
Discernment Counseling For couples unsure whether to stay or separate, discernment counseling helps both partners gain clarity before making major decisions.
Your therapist will work with you to find the right approach — never a one-size-fits-all solution.

Common Questions About Marriage Counseling
How is marriage counseling different from couples therapy?
They're largely the same thing — marriage counseling and couples therapy both focus on improving the relationship between two partners. The term "marriage counseling" is often used for married couples specifically, while "couples therapy" can apply to any partnership.
Does marriage counseling actually work?
Research consistently shows that couples therapy is effective, especially when both partners are committed to the process. The Gottman Method and EFT in particular have strong evidence behind them.
What if my spouse doesn't want to come to counseling?
It's more common than you'd think. Individual therapy can still help you navigate relationship challenges and make positive changes — sometimes that shift alone can open the door for your partner to join later.
Does insurance cover marriage counseling in Denver?
Coverage varies by plan. Evans Counseling Group accepts most major insurance plans including Medicaid. Contact us to verify your specific coverage.
Do you offer online marriage counseling?
Yes. We offer telehealth sessions for couples across Colorado. Online marriage counseling is flexible and works well for couples with busy schedules or who prefer to meet from home.
