Nancy asks…
does marriage counseling really work?
has anyone been to marriage couseling and did it help? what happens?
MarriageCounseling answers:
It’s worked/working for us. I was skeptical at first. But I have really gotten on board. It was really been therapeutic talking to another understanding person about our problems. I’ve kept everything locked up for so many years. Both people have to want to try to make things work. If you’re having issues with your spouse. I would highly recommend it. I wish I would have done this 9 years ago. Too proud then. Not anymore. I can only go up from here. If you thinking about doing it, I’d do it.
Lisa asks…
Does marriage counseling really work? Can it help if you are separated, living apart & affair is the reason?
In the case of infidelity does counseling help the wayward spouse more or the spouse that was cheated on?
MarriageCounseling answers:
Counseling will only work if the spouse that cheated wants it to. If Counseling helps the person that was cheated on. If your spouse does not want to change, if they do not want to work it out or quit cheating, counseling will get you nowhere.
Daniel asks…
does anyone have experience with marriage counseling working?
I love my husband and do not want our marriage to end, the kids certainly do not want it to end, and he says that he does not want it to end, but we cannot seem to get along anymore at all, we are a mixed family and share a 1yo girl and there is a ton of stress but we do not seem to be able to come together anymore, we are always, always battling, help, please?
MarriageCounseling answers:
I just experienced a similar challenge. The marriage counseling wasn’t working. We each received individual counseling which helped tremendously. Problems usually start with you. (you and your husband have seperate issues) address the personal issues first then move on to the family issues. You can’t start repairing something from the inside out only from the outside in. Good Luck.
Chris asks…
Does marriage counseling actually work?
There are things about my wife that bother me and I don’t think marriage counseling will work.
She is constantly blowing her freakin nose and it‘s starting to become unbearable to me. She does it right int he middle of me talking.
She is always making us late for something because she takes forever to get ready.
She says the stupidest things that don’t make sense sometimes like “I like to crush the eggshells really good before throwing them away becaues it helps keep the trash can cleaner”…….really? wtf? how?
She leaves towels and wrappers and receipts and baby poweder EVERYWHERE.
She rolls her eyes in public and it‘s embarassing.
We’ve been having a lot of fights because this stuff just sets me off. I moved out for a while and recently moved back in and now it‘s all coming back to me and I suggested divorce and she is begging to go to counseling.
Is marriage counseling really going to help this?
MarriageCounseling answers:
Don’t you think it’s at least worth a try? Sometimes it helps, and sometimes it doesn’t. But you have to go in with an open mind and give it an honest try. It only works if you really give it your full attention and follow the suggestions of the therapist. My husband and I saw one for a while, and I think it helped us out quite a bit. I don’t know if we’d have made it through that rough patch without it, and now we communicate SO much better and can work our way through anything. Go, give it a try..
