go to marriage counseling

My relationship was (and still is) in jeopardy but we went and saw a marriage counselor yesterday and for the first time in months, we are smiling again! I would highly recommend counseling to anyone considering separation or divorce. Find a good counselor you both will like, and be honest with them. Stick with it and do the “homework” they give and you will be amazed at how quickly your relationship turns around.

I love my husband, but right now we are in trouble if we do not learn how to effectively communicate as mature adults. Sarcasm and belittling just will not do. We both have our own opinions and views that need to be respected. I sure hope we can get marriage counseling very very soon. God help us!!

Actually, just one time was the trick to make us stop fighting for a good long while. That was back in January and now it’s here on June 20th and we haven’t even thought of divorce again since. I think that was a wake-up call. As well as talking about our ‘problems’ in front of a stranger made us realize that they weren’t really problems after all.

It’s amazing what good a little talking and some thinking and some occasional private writing and organizing one’s thoughts can do.
