Couples Counseling Could Save Your Relationship

By Sabrina Summerfield
Jun 28, 2009
When my husband and I were going through a nasty spell we went to a trusted source for couples counseling and direction. It seemed more important to me at that time than it did for my husband, which made our relationship even more strained.

Since then, I have learned that it is normal for a person to want to resist counseling. Not because they have anything to hide, but for some people, it is hard to open up sensitive subject matter to a stranger. This is a definite problem if it comes to a point where you need someone to counsel you and offer direction and help.

If you think that you don't need any help and you can take care of any problems between yourselves, then you might want to ask yourself why you clicked on this article. It is because you need help with your situation and you are seeking help.

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.

If it seems like they have it all together, it is more likely that they don't. They simply have the faith that their God will see them through the valleys and bring them to the mountaintop where they will see clearly again. Don't wait if your friendship is in trouble, get some counseling.

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.

Even if you don't consider yourself Christian it is still beneficial for you to select Christian couples counseling. I would suggest that if you don't want to go to a church, then question your reasons and if you cannot find a good one, then please go. It is my advice to go to any of the many qualified people in your area, just open the yellow pages. Do it now and get a qualified person to help you on the road to healing your relationship. What do you have to loose?
