Does Marriage Counseling Work? - You Be the Judge
But, there is always hope! Please take into account that in order for marriage counseling to work both individuals must be active participants.
Therefore, does marriage counseling work? If you look around at marriage forums you will discover many different opinions about the benefits of marital counseling.
The opinions are varied.
However, there is one area that seems to be of concern for those that have been through counseling.
This will be discussed later on.
For those that are contemplating a separation or divorce ask yourself what will happen if you do nothing to save your marriage.
The following questions should guide you in the right direction.
Question 1 - If you separate or divorce, how will this affect other family members? Will there be even more discord? Or will there be relief and joy? Question 2 - If your marriage dissolves, will you regret it? Things can get fuzzy when the mind gets overwhelmed.
Think through and make an educated decision.
Question 3 - Have you looked at the total cost of a divorce? You must look at the numbers and make sure that you are going to be ok.
Question 4 - Are you better off without him/her? Are you ready to let them go emotionally or are you still very attached to them? You have the answers within you...
How you answer the above questions will determine the commitment that you have in saving your marriage.
Do you want to rekindle the marriage flame or not?
