Is the many people advising it just throwing it out there as a last ditch effort.

I am really struggling to work out your question here.
Are you asking if counselling is any good, if your marriage is any good or something else?
If the question is about counselling, then "it can work very well if both partis want to work together to make it happen"

no, marriage counseling shouldn't be the last ditch effort. If someone recognizes the need early enough, then it is possible it will work. I believe, like you mentioned in another answer, that marriage counseling should be done before marriage, but not everyone gets that these days. I am a counselor, or in the process of being one, so i say counseling is good. However, not all people can work through there problems with counseling, it has to be a process they work out on their own as well.

Counseling CAN work, but it isn't guaranteed. Counseling can get expensive, but it will only work if both people are willing to put forth an effort. Counseling will help a married couple find a problem that they can't seem to figure out and/or fix a problm that they don't know how to fix. it isn't a last resort, it actually works for plenty of people

When it comes to trying to save a failing marriage, every effort counts...even the "last ditch" ones. I think before a husband and wife dissolve their union through divorce, they must first be committed to seeing if it can be salvaged. To do that, they have to be willing to explore and participate in every option available to them, including marriage couseling. It may not be the fix they need, but at least they can both walk away knowing with certainty that they did everything they could to make the marriage work. This holds especially true when there are children involved. Good Luck!

Counseling is not a last ditch effort. It's for people who cannot communicate effectively, which is a good majority of the population.

It's a useless thing. People always say, "marriage is hard work" That is a lie, a great marriage is one that needs no work at all. It's only work if it is a bad one. And whats the point in that.

Counselling is such a cop out.
