You might put a few of these songs into a playlist for your significant other or text them your favorite lyrics. Writing out song lyrics as part of a love letter can also be an excellent way to convey your feelings and let your partner know how much they mean to you.

When song lyrics aren’t enough

If you’re having trouble in your relationship, song lyrics may seem to come up short. Some problems with a significant other may not be fixed with a ballad. In these cases, couples therapy may be the best course of action. 

Talking about the intimate details of a relationship with a stranger can be intimidating, though, even when that person is a licensed therapist. If you’re hesitant to open up in an in-person, office-based setting, there may be other options. One viable alternative to consider could be online therapy

This study generally recommended the use of online couples therapy and stated that it could be as effective as traditional in-office therapy. If your relationship needs professional guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out for the help you deserve.

Takeaway

While talking about lyrics to love songs can be a beautiful romantic gesture, it may not be the solution to deeper issues in your relationship. If you’ve encountered challenges that you’re not sure how to resolve on your own, connecting with a couples therapist through an online therapy platform may provide an effective way forward.
