The COVID-19 pandemic and government actions have increased stress on couple relationships, leading to more difficulties and conflicts. Autonomy and connection issues play a central role as couples navigate changes in lockdowns and social distancing. By integrating attachment theory with stress and coping theories, emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) offers guidelines to help couples address the multiple stressors of the pandemic.
The COVID pandemic, and actions taken by governments worldwide to deal with it, have placed stress on couple relationships. Reports from many countries have documented substantial increases in relationship difficulties, conflict, and violence. We propose that issues concerning autonomy and connection are central to these problems, particularly as couples face changing situations with regard to lockdowns, social distancing, and border closures. We further propose that a fruitful approach to understanding these difficulties comes from integrating attachment theory with key concepts of stress and coping theories. Based on these principles and concepts, emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) offers guidelines to help couples navigate the multiple stressors associated with the pandemic.
