[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't believe in marriage counseling either. I would rather go individual counselor, to get another perspective. [/quote]

I have not been to marriage counseling but my best friend has and has always been quite open about the experience.  For them it was less of a therapy session and more of having a middle man to facilitate their discussions.  Both my friend and her husband had a tendency to dismiss the other one's points and then get annoyed if pressed further.  Obviously a recipe for disaster.  The marriage counselor simply helped them have these conversations with a middle man present to diffuse the situation and then to later work on communication.  It not only saved and drastically improved their marriage, but it also changed the quality of our friendship.  Individual counseling (which I've been doing for years) is unable to help you with perspective of your spouse, since they are not there to say their point.  The individual counselor can only help you with how you report things, which lets face it, when we are annoyed or angry at our spouse, we tend not to paint an entirely truthful situation. [/quote]
