Summary/Abstract: According to statistics, during the last 20 years the marriage as an institution has been in a serious crisis. The alternative form of intimate relationships is becoming more and more popular. Nevertheless, such kind of relationship is even more unstable than marriage. Research shows that more than 85% of the couples separate in their first five years together. It could be suggested, that the crisis is not in the marriage as an institution but the actual relationship between partners. This is where the marriage consultancy comes into play. In other words the psychotherapy assists problematic couples to handle their domestic problems in a structural way. Hence, they can ultimately avoid separation. Positive psychotherapy is a short-term and effective method which helps the couples overcome their crisis and improve the quality of their relationships.
