Absolutely — when both partners are willing to show up and do the work, weekly couples therapy can be one of the best investments you’ll ever make in your relationship. Meeting every week helps you stay connected to the process, build momentum, and address issues before they solidify into long-term resentment or disconnection. Think of it as relationship maintenance — like tuning up your car or trimming trees and shrubs to keep them healthy. If your relationship is important to you, you’ve got to give it love and attention otherwise one day you’ll wake up to see it’s turning brown and looking sad & neglected.
That said, therapy only works if both partners are engaged and applying what they learn outside of sessions. If you’re just showing up to check a box or make your point, you won’t get much out of it. But if you’re both invested in understanding each other and improving your communication, weekly therapy is far less costly — emotionally and financially — than years of frustration, disconnection, or divorce.
Gottman and EFT 
At Spot on Relationships, we use evidence-based approaches that actually work. Two of the most researched and effective are the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
The Gottman Method focuses on building or rebuilding a foundation of friendship, learning to identify and manage conflict constructively as to not further damage your relationship, and creating meaningful daily rituals and long term shared meaning. All of which is grounded in decades of research By Doctors John and Julie Gottman on what makes relationships last.
EFT, is based in attachment theory and founded by Dr. Sue Johnson helps partners recognize and change negative emotional patterns or cycles so they can build more secure, connected, and intimate bonds with each other. Both methods are backed by extensive research showing real, lasting improvements in relationship satisfaction.
At Spot on Relationships, we see weekly sessions not as a burden, but as a commitment to the health and longevity of your partnership — a way to strengthen your connection before life’s complexities and challenges test it.
