Your Questions About Marriage Therapy


Nancy asks…

Where can I get free therapy or marriage counseling in Chula Vista CA.?

I just found out that my husband cheated on me and now she is pregnant…I have been married to him for 14 years and have 2 kids with him…I’m trying to save my marriage but I think I need help!

MarriageCounseling answers:

About the only place free, would probably be your place of worship. But I’m not sure it would actually be a form of comfort. I very seriously wish you the very best in dealing with your pain…..??

Lisa asks…

Help! What careers can someone with a MA in Psychology/marriage therapy pursue other than doing therapy?

I think I made a mistake in pursuing this degree since I have no interest in becoming a therapist. However, it’s too late now…What options do I have?
For example, what kind of jobs can tI do for the media or marketing, etc?
I’d really appreciate your help!

MarriageCounseling answers:

Relax. Given the fact that you have already been to medical school you probably can go to any school you want.
Go back, and get a degree you want.

Robert asks…

Can an individual therapist for my spouse also provide marriage therapy services?

MarriageCounseling answers:

It would be a conflict of interest for your spouse’s therapist to provide marital therapy for you and him. Some do do it, though. I would recommend you go with someone else for the marital therapy.

George asks…

Marriage therapy–How Long till it works??

My husband and I start to go to counseling 2 weeks ago. Sometimes I feel like I really want this to work we have a 2-year old and I really want a family but other times I feel like I just can’t stand him and I don’t even want to try. I’ve been really trying with the counseling. How long does it usally take for a couple to see any changes in the relationship? One of our issue is that he doenst want sex. We are 28 years old and in the last year we have had sex maybe 3 times. I ask him but its alway a difft reason why he doesnt want to. I told the counser and he said to make time for each other and I have done that and it still doesnt work. I’m scare that I’m losing or lost interest in having sex with my husband b/c he is always saying NO to me now I really dont know if I want to with him. Not like his asking or anything. I don’t know if I still want to go to counseling or just call it a day with our marriage.
He says he doesnt want sex b/c he has a bad back. But he will not go to the doctor. He wont even do other things for me in bed so I stop and will not do anything for him in bad. I’m not sure if I’m being a child or not by saying you do something for me and I”ll do something for you.

MarriageCounseling answers:

Well I would say two weeks isn’t enough time for anything…I would say you need to give it about six months. This will allow both of you to work through issues and find resolutions. It will also allow enough time to get everyting out in the open, as it doesn’t all come out in one visit. You both have to be putting 100% into it in order for it to work. Don’t give up just yet….it will take a while.
