For those of you who have tried it, does couples counseling actually help?

Question

I just read an article from the Huffington Post that said it's BS. I was just curious if it actually worked for any of you?

Answer

Yes.... We did it before marriage. In our state you get a discount on your marriage licenses if you do marriage counseling prior. And, we still do it. We also hang out with other married couples that our positive role models. We motive eachother. Being married is hard, and it seems like soo many thing our against us. But, you have to put in work and you get what you put in...

Answer

Wow I'm so surprised at the amount of yes answers! That's awesome.

Answer

It totally saved my marriage. I highly suggest it. Now we went through 2 therapists before we found the one we really liked but it is totally worth it.

Answer

I think proactive counseling is much more effective than going as a last ditch effort to save a relationship that is beyond salvaging.  Sometimes you simply can't bounce back fro. Severely broken trust or cruelty.

Answer

If you find the right counselor and you both are truthful it can. My husband and I had a horrible experience but now we each see our own and plan to go from there
