Cupid’s Advice:
Marriage counseling does not guarantee a lack of divorce, but there are definitely benefits to the process even if it doesn’t work:
1. Communication: The main thing that counseling does is provide a place to air all of your grievances. Â You can tell your partner all of the things you’ve been holding in. Â That way, everything you need to work on is on the table ready to be tackled.
2. Solutions: Whether the solution ends up being a divorce or getting back together, a decision is definitely necessary when you’re at odds with your spouse. Â Marriage counseling provides a neutral place to decide.
3. Last shot: Marriage counseling comes before a split so that if there’s any chance whatsoever that you may be able to work out your issues, you can do it. Â It’s the last stop shop before making the decision to call it quits.
