Irish Therapists on the Eight most Common Questions Couples ask.

Girl meets boy. They fall in love, and live happily ever after. Or so the fairy tales tell us. In reality, relationships are a lot more complicated, a lot less defined by gender or sexuality, and many of us don’t really know what we are doing due to a lack of decent sex education and realistic role models.

However, it doesn’t have to be this way. For a relationship to work, we need skills around dealing with conflict, setting boundaries, and what happens when things don’t go as planned in the bedroom. To address this gap, we asked therapists in Ireland for their advice for couples experiencing some of the most common relationship issues.
