Couple counseling is eventually where a rough marriage leads, especially when both people are seriously invested in the relationship and do not want it to end. The problem is that there is no magic in talking out your problems with an objective third party. In some cases, therapy will work magic while others will not be able to overcome an eventual separation.

Obviously, there has to be something that makes the difference between couples that eventually restore the marriage and those that simply fall apart, right?

You may assume that it is a difference in the type of problems that each couple has to overcome, but that is not the answer. Couples facing the most extreme issues can make it through counseling and find happiness together.

The correct answer is that couples who are able to pull through together are the ones that take their sessions and turn it into action at home. Here are some things to consider if you want to improve your chances of making your marriage work through counseling.

It all starts with your own attitude. If you go in defensive and ready to prove all your spouse’s thoughts and accusations wrong, then you are not really listening to what they have to say. Drop your guard and just really listen to what they are saying, not what it means about you personally.

Second, you have to be willing to bare your soul and really state what you believe. You have to be completely open and honest even if it may hurt your spouse. This is how the root issues get uncovered.

Finally, forget all the topics that you normally fight about, such as her lack of housekeeping skills or whatever. Those are just cover ups for the real issues tearing you apart, The real issues will be deeper in your emotions, so get real and stop pointing fingers and blaming one another.

Ultimately, you have to listen wholeheartedly, speak the truth, and then go out of the sessions and put what you learn to use. You have to take action every single day to make things better.

Working things out in couple counseling is ultimately not about the talking. It’s about taking the talking into your everyday life to make the deeper issues all better. This is ultimately what successful couples do to stay together.
