Can Counseling Save A Marriage?

How can you even think about this? The reason counseling fails is because couples decide too late to save their marriage or simply are indisposed to do this. Marriage counseling puts couples to face their problems and communicate about their relationship. This cannot be possible when couples try to solve problems by their own, it always ends whit even worse results.

Yeah counseling can save marriage relationship if both the partners have one percent expectation to save and restore their relationship, rest of the things depends upon therapists. In order to secure your relationship you can take pre-marriage counseling. Every couple who are getting married have to pay fees for acquire marriage license. Senate force couples to take pre-marriage counseling. They give free marriage license to couples undergoing premarital counseling class. It is very necessary to make synchronization between couples who are blindly in love and getting married without considering social, economical, behavioral and mental aspects. These things are necessary and can be developed by learning communication skills, anger management tips, conflict resolution skills and it will increase faith, trust, love and intimacy between couples. Christian marriage counseling is considered to be the best for couples because this is based on God’s beliefs, which nourishes soul, behavior and thinking of the partners for long-lasting happy marriage relationships. http://www.marriage-counselors.net/online-marriage-counselor/Christian-M...

I dispute your claims about any special value in "Christian" marriage counseling. I have also personally found priests and pastors to be less than helpful. You also need to consider that there are many people in this country that hold other beliefs (Jewish, Hindu, Islamic, Buddhist, etc.) or hald no religious beliefs at all.

Any reputable marriage counselor or therapist can handle marriage counseling. Many people don't have a religion-based counselor nearby anyway. With all the reasons people want to avoid counseling in our society, the last thing they need is another excuse NOT to seek one out (I.e. "There's no Christian counselors around here, so I can't/don't want to go.").

I definitely agree about the value of pre-marital counseling. I don't know how many couples delay marriage or change their minds due to pre-marital counseling, but I do know that it can be a real eye-opener for what the couple is getting themselves into - and that's valuable in itself.

Counseling can help if started early enough. Our society has real problems accepting the idea that marriage counseling is useful and valuable. There is a real, "We'll fix it ourselves" attitude out there.

What happens (IMHO) is that the needed counseling is delayed by these "do it yourselfers" until it's far too late. Couples then go to marriage counseling in a state comparable to taking a week-dead corpse to a doctor expecting a resurrection.

We take our cars into a garage for maintenance when they break. We even take them in for "preventative maintenance." So why do WE resist taking ourselves into "maintenance" when WE need it?
