Written By Rachel Pfeiffer

Chronic illness affects not just the individual but also the couple’s emotional and relational wellbeing.

Impact of Chronic Illness on Relationships

  • Emotional strain from uncertainty or limitations

  • Communication challenges around needs and boundaries

Couples Therapy’s Role in Chronic Illness

Why Relationship Support Matters with Illness

Strong partnerships can buffer the stress of chronic illness and improve quality of life for both partners.
