Have you and so gone to counseling before?

Question

Tell me your experience and did it help?

Answer

So my bfs grandmom is really big on premarital counseling (she's a pastor and is big on people knowing if they're compatible before marrying), he was hesitant and I was kinda like wait were great we don't need counseling that's for people who are having problems (ignorant comment, I know)...so we did it kinda just to make mom mom happy...but it was sooo beneficial. I really loved it and took alot out of it...it helped with communication and really just put us on the same page, we learned new things about each other and worked together....and I know a few people who have done counseling when they were having problems and said it really made a difference...it's sometimes really nice to have someone on the outside to talk to and give some guidance or opinions or suggestions (and though family and friends are great to talk to, they may have preconceived judgements or whatever)

I say it's def worth a shot though , it could be really beneficial and it's always good to talk about things

Answer

I was wondering about this! You read my mind! I haven't gone myself but  considering it

Answer

Been to counseling with and without my husband! I love love love it! It's great to talk to an outside party who has no personal gain on the matter. The advise is unbiased and so is the listening. A counselor can help you and your partner see each other's sides better. When couples disagree or argue, we don't always hear what the other is saying, with a counselor... they help guide the conversation and help with interpreting.

Answer

After a failed 17 year marriage, a lot of research and a lot of life, with different 1) family of origin; 2) Gender! 3) personality, communication style!     (it's a miracle any of us can stay married!)

Did you know that on average women use 10,000 words a day and men use 5000 or fewer?    So I highly recommend a few resources!  BOOKS, and Mentors I live by:  PHD Dr. John Gottman, "7 principles of making marriage work."   Dr Eggerichs, "Love and respect".  "That's not what I meant" by Deborah Tannen; "The new male sexuality, by zilbergeld; the Kendrick Brothers "The Love Dare."  And Podcasts by Dr. James Dobson & his wife, and Joyce Meyer.   Yes do counselling and do it early!  Blessings.
