What if my partner refuses to go to therapy or I want to work on issues alone?

Many issues that can impact a relationship are within the individual and you may not even realize how much power you have to improve your marriage just by changing your own behavior. So coming in for individual therapy is very beneficial if you feel there are ongoing issues and your partner won’t agree to therapy or you have relationship issues that you wish to work on individually.
