[quote=Anonymous]Go to church, synagogue or mosque. Most clergy are trained in this stuff. I'm protestant (Presbyterian) but went to a Lutheran pastor I knew was a no-BS guy. He was masterful in both joint and private (one-on-one) discussions. Religion barely came into it once he established that neither of us were into the "because God said so" crap, and got down into finding out why we were doing the things we were doing to each other. No topic was off-limits as my resentments about sex were laid out plain, and her resentments of me for the myriad of reasons was also laid out there. Years later, we are doing better than ever. His counseling didn't cost us a dime (and we didn't even go to his church), and we've learned to deal with our resentments much better. He told me recently that whenever anybody comes to counseling, the guy is 90% angry about sex (or lack of enough) and sometimes money, and the women are angry about money or help. I hope it helps. I don't know how effective a priest would be as I am not Catholic so not sure how a celebate being can help when 90% of a male complaint is about something they know little about besides theory, and I haven't the faintest clue about what an Imam would do. I only know stereotypes of muslims, though they seem to usually have very happy marriages from what I've seen from a distance. Good Luck![/quote]
