Yes, Tricare only covers marriage counseling when diagnosed with mental health conditions. Marriage counseling services sought for general relationship issues not tied to a recognized mental health disorder will not be covered.
Addressing relationship issues is crucial because unresolved problems can significantly impact your emotional well-being, overall satisfaction, and the longevity of your partnership. Left unaddressed, these issues can lead to increased conflict, emotional disconnection, and even the end of the relationship.
Some common marriage problems include communication difficulties, financial stress, and infidelity.
Prioritizing quality time together can be challenging with busy schedules, but it's important to make it a priority. Schedule date nights or make the most of the time you do have together, such as during meals or by planning activities that are quick and easy to do.
It may seem challenging to show appreciation when going through a rough patch, but it's important to make an effort. Start small by expressing appreciation for even small things, and be specific about what you appreciate. This can help to shift the focus from negative to positive.
Ignoring relationship issues can exacerbate problems and make them more challenging to manage over time. This can result in a negative impact on your emotional well-being, increased conflict, and potential dissolution of the relationship.
