You can expect that you will have to put in the extra effort outside of those sessions as well. It’s not realistic to expect therapy alone to improve all of the issues in your relationship. You will need to take the recommendations given to you by your therapist, and apply them in your daily life with your partner. This is important to obtaining success from therapy.
