The rising levels of stress are expected to drive the growth of the marriage counseling services market in the coming years. Stress is the body's reaction to external pressures, leading to physical, emotional, or mental strain, and can negatively impact overall health and well-being.

Marriage counseling services assist in managing stress by offering couples tools and strategies to resolve conflicts, enhance communication, and strengthen their relationship dynamics. For example, in October 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), a national statistical agency, reported that 42.9% of individuals aged 16 to 85 have experienced a mental disorder at some point in their lives. Additionally, 21.5% of this population had a mental disorder in the past year, with anxiety being the most common, affecting 17.2% of individuals in that age range. Furthermore, 38.8% of individuals aged 16 to 24 reported experiencing a mental disorder in the past year.
