As couples move through different phases in their relationship, they may also have more responsibilities such as a career, children, or caring for aging parents. With these added responsibilities, they may find it hard to invest the time in the couple relationship, which can often be an added stressor. When couples have not learned how to allot time for relationship maintenance, and/or adapt to changes, communication can begin to deteriorate. In times of crisis, it can leave them feeling frustrated, disconnected, misunderstood, and alone.

In addition, each partner will also be encouraged to develop an understanding of his/her contribution to the difficulties taking place in the relationship.
