Couples therapy

Is it bad that my boyfriend and I aren’t married and we are going to couples therapy? We have been together for four and a half years. He hasn’t asked me to marry him. We have had a relationship of ups and downs. Mostly because we met very young and we were immature. We broke up for a year but we have been back together for Three years. We recently moved in together at the end of August. We are struggling with his work schedule and his selfishness. He has had bad luck in relationships and he has issues from his past that keep him in bondage. He won’t go to a therapist himself so we are going to start couples therapy. Is this bad?
