[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Contraindications to marriage counseling:

Active addiction 
Active infidelity 
Domestic Violence

You are never going to get anywhere with the process if this is happening in your marriage.  [/quote]

Well, that's your list. How about mental illness??? A personality disorder? OCD? How about subtle personality changes after heart surgery or a brain injury? How about different sexual preferences of one sort or another?

Or others might add money troubles, an underemployed spouse, a spouse who refuses to communicate, a spouse who is emotionally distant, a realization that you and your spouse have different values. Some people just should never have married in the first place. They realize this one day. Or they grow apart. The list can go on and on.

And statistically for the majority of women, it's not active infidelity. It's infidelity, period. Many people don't want to remain married to someone who broke their wedding vows and betrayed them. If the spouse isn't sufficiently remorseful, the marriage might not be salvageable with MC.

MC only works in a few situations, I believe, and they are HIGHLY subjective. Mostly, though, it can only work if two well-meaning and honest people are going into it fully willing to work at it and spends tons and tons of time and money.
