A 2021 study found that Imago therapy helped couples improve the quality of their relationship in the following areas:

• relationship satisfaction
• trust
• commitment
• repeated conflict
• physical and emotional intimacy
• relationship burnout

Imago therapy is primarily for couples experiencing conflict who are looking to resolve issues in their relationship. However, it can also be beneficial for other couples, as it can help them understand how their relationships in childhood may have affected their current relationship.
