[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mainly a waste of time. Both people usually know what's wrong and if they don't, or are unwilling to solve it, a couple counselor isn't going to fix it.[/quote] I disagree with this. We went and found it helpful. Our therapist used the Gottman and it really did improve our marriage. It opened up the lines of communication and we each had to work on our own issues (for him it was avoidance of conflict so going along with anything) and for me it was learning to use less statements like “you always” and focus more on I statements. It gave us good insight, however we were on the brink of divorce. I don’t think it will fix couples who are really broken and have already mentally called it quits. I do think it will help if both people are committed to making it work. [/quote]
