Who is Marriage Counseling For?
Would you believe me if I told you that marriage counseling is potentially for every couple? Of course, you wouldn’t believe me. But let me back it up with a reason. You cannot deny that every relationship has some scope of improvement. And it is this improvement that couples counseling helps you with. So, irrespective of whether you are a constantly-fighting couple, a couple treating each other silently, or a couple who rarely bickers, seeking help from a counselor is likely to improve your situation. If your relationship is in a bad state, it will become good. If it is already good, it will become better. If it is better than most, it will become all the more pleasant.
So, am I suggesting that you go for couples counseling irrespective of any problems? No, I am not suggesting that. What I suggest is that when you notice signs of trouble or when there is a sudden lull in your relationship, you don’t wait for the situation to vanish on its own. Sometimes, they do, but you cannot count on that probability. Instead, take charge of the situation. I am not asking you to seek an appointment with the counselor at once. Instead, try self-help tips to bring the spark back into your relationship. And only when you feel that your efforts are bringing results, get an appointment with the counselor.
Don’t consider your relationship a failure just because you are going to a counselor. You are not unhealthy just because you visit a doctor; you visit the doctor to remain healthy always. A counselor helps in the same way.
