[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Therapists are taught how to establish a comfortable relationship with their patients.

The reality OP, is that if you could do it on your own, you'd have done it. If you don't want to get divorced, then you need to do everything in your power to save your marriage, even if it's uncomfortable for you.

I would guess that your rigidity may be a factor in the problems in your marriage, just based on your OP. Marriage counseling has helped hundreds of thousands of couples, if not more. Do you HONESTLY think you're that much brighter than all of them? Again, if you were capable due to your self-proclaimed smarts, of saving your marriage, you'd have done it already.[/quote]

Not OP, but there are thousands of couples who haven't been helped from counseling, too.

The one person I know in real life who is a marriage counselor has the most dysfunctional marriage I've ever witnessed.  Most of the people I knew in college who were on the path to being counselors were kind of screwed up.

I know that's just anecdotal, but it has always clouded my view of counselors.

I have a different and better view of psychiatrists.  Most of the people headed in that direction were more interested in hard science and research and seemed a lot less new agey.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying this.[/quote]
