ACT helps couples accept and validate all of their emotional experiences, eliminating shame and avoidance. This process is guided by the idea that there is validity not only in the emotional experience we have, but also in what the partner experiences. 
ACT encourages couples to commit to each other, couples are able to take tangible steps towards living in congruence with their personal and shared values. 
Couples work together to set goals, agree on boundaries, and maintain a more open awareness of more viable ways of being in a relationship.
With well-structured protocols and based on scientific evidence, couples therapy based on “ACT” works on issues and helps the couple to overcome barriers, presenting noticeable changes in the way the couple connects, changing patterns of unrealistic expectations, selfish behavior, problems of communication, trying to change others, sexual differences and values and beliefs.
