[quote=Anonymous]Ignore the rest of my post if neither you nor spouse are contemplating separating. My post is only relevant for couples on the brink of splitting up. Couples therapy won’t fix a broken marriage if either partner has one foot out the door. If either one is merely checking off a box, i.e., only agreeing to therapy so they can claim to have tried to save the marriage (We even tried therapy!), but they’re not willing to change anything or do any homework, there’s no saving the marriage. You have to have sincere buy in from both spouses. Be prepared for the possibility that therapy will confirm for one or both of you that divorce is the path forward. It’s sad, but this outcome doesn’t mean the counseling was useless; the clarity that the marriage is over has value, even if it’s not the desired outcome.[/quote]
