Marriage Counseling

Without getting into the nitty gritty of it all, I really think that my hubby and I need some marriage counseling as we are not seeing eye to eye financially and have in general had a major disconnect (which has really taken me by surprise). Have any of you tried marriage counseling? Was it helpful for you?

    DH and I went to counseling prior to our marriage. We both found it to be very helpful but both parties have to want to participate.

    We went once before our daughter's birth and were given some really good tools for conflict management. It's been a rough month though and we'll likely go again.

    I was thinking DH and I may do the same. We have had some more strain lately, both over financial and home stuff. I know we are both tired and there are changes right now and we could use some tools.

    I truly believe that counseling saved our marriage. My husband would not have important conversations with me and when he did he just told me what I wanted to hear and didn't act on anything he said. He thought I was nagging and complaining all of the time but he needed to hear things from an outsiders point to view before he realized that he had a lot of things to work on. We communicate so much better and are much happier.

    I made the first appointment on my own and told him that I was going for my benefit and he could come if he wanted to. He said he wanted to go so we could work on things and he definitely changed for the better!

    I went to counseling in my first marriage and it was such a waste as my ex refused to listen and try to change.
    Fast forward to now and my SO and I have a great relationship because we communicate openly even if we know the other will get upset.
    I had to learn to talk and not keep things bottled up. At least I got something useful from the counseling.
