If both people open up and are willing to listen and work on their issues as a person and together as a couple. It CAN work.

No, it does not work. People stay together because they want to. A therapist can not convince you to stay in a relationship when one or both parties want out. All the therapist does in my opinion is help you face that fact that you already know. Most of these so called marriage therapist have a divorce or two in their own past. What makes them an authority. RECAP - If both people want to stay you really don't need counseling. If one does not want to stay counseling won't help just bring issues to the surface and in most cases the writing is on the wall.

The stats on it aren't very good. However, I do have a Friend that used the program below. It's a money back guarantee type of thing and you should really look over the entire site before you reject it. Cheaper than counseling in the long run and she swears it saved her marriage.

yes, but you both need to go together..going by yourself when you are wanting to work on your relationship is not going to work. If he/she is not willing to go to counseling with you then maybe that is a sign they dont want the relationship as much as you. You have to go in with an open mind and heart and believe in change. Good luck to you!

Yes it works if you want it to work and if the couple does what they know they need to do to work on and save the marriage but if they choose not to then no it will not work or help at all. You have to want to change and work on the marriage or it will not work.

Gurly Gurl,
Only if you keep a open mind, If you go there expecting them to fix things it's not going to work. If you go and listen it could help you to see things differently. You can even go by yourself if you want. Above all stay open, closed minded people will not go anywhere they can only find fault.

I've been 3 times. Once with my ex-h and twice with my soon to be ex-h. So, it either doesn't work or I don't listen well.
