The digital age has certainly made our lives easier. Everything can be done online, including couples counseling! There’s no more need to head to in-person therapy when it can be done from the comfort of your own home. Online couples counseling and relationship coaching apps have become simple, effective options for couples looking to rekindle the spark.

Here are the top four benefits of relationship coaching apps and online couples counseling (and why you should give it try!):

Convenience

Online couples counseling works on your schedule, not the other way around. There’s no commute and no need to schedule appointments. There’s also a lot more privacy since it’s all done from home.

Along with online couples counseling, relationship coaching apps have emerged as another convenient option you can download to your phone. The app Relish, for example, gives you the ability to send messages to real relationship coaches any time of day! There are lessons, quizzes, and insights that you can access at your own convenience.

Affordability

If you and your partner are interested in therapy, but can’t afford the big price tag (usually around $3200!), a relationship app is a great option. Most charge a yearly subscription and are much more affordable than traditional options. For example, Relish is $100 for a year-long subscription after a seven-day free trial.

Flexibility

Online couples counseling and relationship coaching apps allow you to navigate therapy however you want. Maybe your partner prefers speaking with a coach, while you would rather read articles and lessons from experts — no problem! You both can learn and share information in different ways on apps like Relish.

Couple-Centric

Since establishing trust is necessary for couples to open up about their issues, traditional, in-person therapy is often about the therapist-couple relationship. On the other hand, apps like Relish focus more on your wants and needs as a couple and less on the relationship with your therapist.

On the Relish app, a relationship coach is assigned based on your specific needs and is available to chat whenever you want! (And if you’d rather not? That’s fine too!)

For so long, people only considered online couples counseling as a last-ditch effort to save the relationship. Thankfully, that’s not the case anymore! Today, online couples counseling is being recognized as something even happy couples should pursue to stay on track. Taking the time to learn more about it is the first step towards a stronger relationship!
