Just to be clear, I'm not talking about 2 hours a weeks of counseling forever. I just think a "check-in" once a month to have a space to discuss anything with a neutral 3rd party to mediate our discussions. I know many people that use couples therapy as maintenance...not because their relationship is in jeopardy. As you read here daily, there are many people in crappy/unhappy marriages. Don't want to be one of the people posting here in 5 years about last of sex, or falling out of love, or children tearing us apart, or an affair, etc.]

I'm mostly just curious if people who did it think they could've just gotten the list and gone over it themselves, or if attending weekly for however many weeks with another person was better.[/quote]

Even this monthly "check-in" would be a nightmare for me. I can see the value in counseling as-needed from time-to-time, but monthly visits with "a neutral 3rd party"? It's supposed to be a marriage; it shouldn't require a monthly referee to keep it together. Talk to each other, that's the most important thing. [/quote]
