Couples Counseling Could Save Your Relationship

We got to the point of nearly calling off the wedding when my fiance wanted to go for couples counseling. He really wanted to go and I just really did not. This put an even greater strain on an already volatile situation.

This is normal by the way, for a person to not want to go for counsel and I’ll tell you why. The resistance is because the person knows they have to talk about very private issues and that is hard. This is a cause for concern when you need someone outside of your close union to intervene.

You might think to yourself, that this is ridiculous, I don’t need help with anything, we can work this out on our own. Well, it is my bet that if you are reading this article, then you need some outside help with your relationship.

It doesn’t mean weakness if you decide to go to a couples counselor. Rather, it should make you feel stronger, since you have the guts to face the issues head on and go through some possibly difficult sessions in order to make things better in your lives. Every one in this life has these painful times.

I have about four hundred friends and relatives and a close church family, and I truly don’t know one single couple who hasn’t struggled in some way with some thing. Don’t think for a minute that just because someone is walking with Jesus that they don’t have the same troubles as everyone else.

It might appear that they have it all handled but the truth is that they are waiting for God to work a miracle, to intervene in a mighty way and turn the bad to good. Don’t wait for a bigger blow out before you get some counsel.

I recommend a Godly counselor, since they are motivated by the deep understanding that God wants to reconcile people and is against division. or, divorce. They will work harder at a resolution and practical steps for you two to take in order to cause a bad thing to become beautiful. The church we go to will counsel for free as a service to God, but some churches may charge, since the person or people counseling likely has all the credentials and is doing this for a living.

You may think, because you aren’t Christian that you can’t go for Christian couples counseling, but you would be mistaken. If you just don’t want to go to one, then thing about why you think that way and if you still feel compelled to not get church counsel then please go somewhere. The phone book is full of qualified people who desire to help you. Trust me, you will be happy in the long run if you just jump right in and seek help today.
