Marriage Counseling

My husband and I are thinking about going to marriage counseling. I'm a huge advocate for counseling and believe that it could always be beneficial for a person to have an unbiased person to talk to. My hesitation is that it could cause more issues between us rather than helping us. He has what I call selective amnesia and he always seems to twist around what I say. When he does this I just get quiet because I feel like I'm talking to a wall and no matter what I say he's going to hear what he wants. There are also a lot of issues that I've never discussed with him and I want counseling to help me with that.

So my question is, has marriage counseling helped your marriage or do you feel it made things worse?
