When you think of marriage counseling what comes to mind? Does it have a negative stigma to you? Is it the last step before divorce? Why does marriage counseling have this taboo stereotype associated with it? There are many couples that have found great benefit from marriage therapy. Now, if someone were to ask you to grade your marriage what would you say? Would you give it an A? Do you talk to each other? Do you share common interests with your partner? If you aren’t happy with your marriage have you ever considered marriage counseling? Marriage counseling doesn’t always have to be both partners discussing their issues. There are marriage counseling therapies that involve the therapist meeting one on one with different spouses to get two different views, and then the marriage counselor can focus on different points of mis-communication and misinterpretation. Or a couple can attend together if the therapist thinks that would be the most effective approach. If you have a wonderful marriage then we couldn’t be happier for you.
