در رابطه‌های زوجی همیشه ارتباطات به صورت مثبت و سازنده باقی نخواهد ماند یا به عبارتی رابطه، ممکن است دچار بیماری شود بیماری‌های رابطه عبارتند از کاهش انگیزه و هیجان یکی از زوجین برای ادامه رابطه مشترک ، ورود یک نفر سوم به رابطه مشترک زوجین، عدم توانایی زوجین در حل تعارضات فی مابین، عدم مهارت‌های ارتباط موثر در زوجین. تجربه ارتباط با والدین در سال‌های اولیه زندگی و برخورد آنها با نیازهای اصلی هیجانی فرد، در بعضی از مواقع منجر به ایجاد یک سری افکار و باورهای ناکارآمد در ذهن می‌شود که در بزرگسالی منجر به رفتارهای نامناسب می‌شود. این رفتارها بر اساس باورها شکل می‌گیرند. و در نهایت فرد نسبت به خود و دنیای پیرامون خود نتیجه‌گیری نامناسبی خواهد داشت. اصطلاحا گفته می‌شود که طرحواره‌های ناسازگار اولیه در این فرد شکل گرفته است. طرحواره درمانی کمک می‌کند تا فرد بتواند نسبت به خود شناخت بهتری پیدا کرده، رفتارهای نامناسب خود را تغییر دهد و ارتباطات بهتری تجربه کند.
