Call it mobile marriage counseling.

From Talkspace to Ultimate Intimacy to Lasting, these apps are providing therapy sessions with a few clicks and swipes.

But how?

Many say they offer fun exercises, engaging audio tracks and quizzes for couples to connect.

Some say they've been giving it a try for a number of reasons.

Starting with a financial one.

Some couples say it helps keep them on track.
