[quote=Anonymous]I was in your shoes. Counseling worked for us during a very low point in our marriage. We did EFT counseling which is an evidence-based modality with a high rate of success (70%?). We chose a counselor with a PhD who was really so good at it and smarter than we were. Actually, that was part of the success because he had both of our respect. He was utterly neutral and wouldn’t be played by either of us. Very kind person.

It shifted things permanently in our marriage and we have maintained the techniques we learned. Married 26 years now. We went to counseling for 8 weeks total for 1.5 hours each time. One hour would have been way too short to make progress and would have flown by. I cried a lot and found it draining. But it saved our marriage and we both changed. We also unconsciously incorporated the EFT modality into our parenting which was a subtle and wonderful side benefit. Our relationship with our adult children is authentic, healthy, and connected because of it. The whole family system shifted in a good way.
