    Marriage counseling is actually great. It teaches you to share everything with each other. Not to keep any secrets. That marriage is work. And not to give up at the first sign of difficulty. As for if it works or not well that depends on the person in counseling. And if they want make there marriage work.
    But I would recommend that everyone who is planning to get married go through counseling. It will also help answer question that you may have been afraid to ask your significant other.

    Yes , You will lurn how to hear each other . If you will do as they tell you. Most people are so worked up in what they want to say they don’t hear what the other person is saying.

    They teach you how to communicate. Sometime you are given activities to work on and report on your next visit. It really depends on why you are there.

    Counseling helps if its excepted with a positive attitude. Both of you have to be open & honest about everything to have it make a difference. If the lies still don’t change, then you are wasting your time.

    They will offer a series of compromising situations that you will try to rationalize as which is best for you.
    Good luck

    It won’t hurt any thing and may be a big help for you —it is designed to help your marriage out! If you are speaking about counseling after marriage(some people get some counseling before hand) it will work if both people are there and really trying!!!! If he/she trys to put on a show for the counselor and does the yelling at home forget it!!!

    Yes, I have experience.
    You can expect to pay less for counseling than you will pay for a divorce.
    It helps if you both actually want to be married.
    If you don’t both want to stay married, you can go to counseling, and it will help you determine that one or the other or both of you don’t want to be married. Then you’ll likely get divorced, and sometimes that’s better. I’m fine with my decision to get divorced, because I know that there was nothing more that I could have done to fix my marriage, and unlike a lot of divorced people I know, I have “closure” for lack of a less tacky word.
    Good luck

    Yes i just married in May of this year and it was required for us to go to marriage counseling if we wanted to get married in the church….it helped us a little bit on how to deal with problems, but you sortof learn how do know and deal eachother through living everyday with eachother.

    its a joint effort between spouses….and you must know marraige counselors are not there to make you feel good…their job is to point out problems and to show you how to solve them…hearing painful reminders of ones own role in marriage is not easy …but if your willing to give your all to save your marriage …listen..and try to make the necessary changes. even if one spouses decideds not to go to therapy …going alone can and sometimes does save the marriage….good luck love
