Marriage Counseling - What Good Is It?
By Christopher Hall
Many people (especially men) scoff at the idea of going to marriage counseling. But what these people don’t understand is that ignoring marriage problems do not cause them to go away. How bad does a marriage need to be before you decide to go to counseling? 1. When You And Your Spouse Want To Improve Your Marriage More and more people are realizing that preventive medicine is better than curing medicine. We have learned this lesson the hard way by watching our loved ones die slow and painful deaths caused by a disease that could have been prevented or caught earlier. So when will couples realize that there doesn’t have to be anything wrong with a marriage before they go to counseling? Now preventive counseling does not have to be one-on-one. Many times a couple can go to a marriage retreat or buy some marriage CDs. This is a less intrusive type of marriage counseling that can help prevent problems in your marriage down the road. 2. When You And Your Spouse Can’t Agree There are some things that couples will never agree on – no matter how much they talk about the situation. When you come to something that you can’t agree on, you must determine if it is important enough to be dealt with. Let me tell you, if it causing problems in your marriage, it is important enough to deal with. Many times when we argue, we lose sight of the other person’s point of view. Going to an unbiased and honest marriage counselor will allow someone who is not emotionally involved to give you advice. But be sure to get someone’s unbiased opinion. Asking your friends, family, or co-workers what they think when they only hear your side of the story does not cut it. 3. When You Or Your Spouse Have No Emotion There can come a point in any suffering relationship when one or both parties just don’t feel anything anymore. They don’t feel happiness, they don’t feel anger, they don’t feel upset, they just don’t feel anything. When you get to this point, you are on the brink of losing your entire relationship, and you need to see a marriage counselor immediately. The lack of any emotion in a relationship means that you have given up, and once you have given up, the relationship is basically over. You need help immediately. |
