Does Couples Therapy Favor Women? (The answer might surprise you!)

As a Marriage Therapist with over 30 years of experience, I frequently receive calls from cisgender women in heterosexual relationships with a similar question. One of the most common questions is, “How can I get my partner to go to Couples Therapy?”

Some women may feel their partner’s hesitation to go to therapy means they don’t love her enough. Some women may struggle with feeling their partner is stubborn, doesn’t think they need therapy, or doesn’t see the value of couples therapy.
