What kind of results have people had with marriage counselors?
Wife and I are considering a divorce. 1 years now and 2 children, there's just nothing there anymore, do not hate each other or anything, just nothing there. Tried everything besides counseling, that is the next step. Anyone ever gone to a counselor? What happened? What questions do they ask? Thanks for the answers. Correction 11 years of marriage, sorry, my error. What does it cost?- i did. It wound up being a christian counselor who had all the wrong views of our relationship. He said we can not divorce because it's wrong. He called me controlling only because i said I wanted my wife to go to school and quit her job because she was stressed with her work environment. So after that first and only session we stopped going. I let my ex know how i felt. She listened to me, i listened to her and i left. we have no children together but i have a son and she has a son. I am remarrying in a couple weeks. All you can do is move on in your life
- My husband and I went to counseling before we got married because we went through a rocky period. It was USELESS. Every time we got in there, it led to each of pointing out the other's flaws and problems. It just made us angry every time we went. Eventually, we decided to stop fighing over nothing and move forward - but it was not with the help of therapy. It was us just making a determination. We tried two different counselors, and neither one of them impressed me too much. My biggest problem with both of them is that they were too "two sides to every story; truth somewhere in the middle. " I understand that to an extent, but sometimes, a man or woman needs to be definitively told "you should not do this" or "you are wrong" from a third party when the other partner is not having luck getting through. Good luck!
- My husband and i went to a counselor. The only thing it did for me was made me feel safe to say some things i was not comfortable saying to him, but really, our marriage did not get better for almost 5 years after we sought counseling. and the change was because we were both ready to make it better, no counselor could have done that for us. as far as if it helped him, I am not really sure
- Ours was great! We shopped around and interviewed several until we found one we BOTH liked. He met with us together several times, then separately. He figured out what our problem was, but WE needed to figure it out. Then he met with both of us again. He helped guide us back together and gave us exercises to do to reinforce what we had learned. Total time was 3 or 4 months. It was worth every minute and every dollar. and was MUCH cheaper than a divorce lol We are still together 35 yrs later. Good luck to you both
- I went when we were first married because we did not know how to argue without it getting out of hand. I can give you a 2 points of advice. 1. all counselors are not the same you sometimes have to see a few before you find one you're comfortable with 2. you have to be open and honest. you can not be helped if you hide things I went alone because my husband did not feel comfortable going. but It helped us a lot. we have been happily married 34 years
- My husband and I went to counselling. It was hard and emotional, but we got through it. You get out of it what you put into it, meaning if you are not both going to work hard on it together, then it will not work for either of you. One of the other people above me said shop around for a counsellor you like. That's important - you need to find someone you are comfortable with because you will be talking about the most intimate parts of your relationship
