Can Your Marriage Work? A Guide to Couple’s Therapy (Part A)

Problems in our personal relationships can be incredibly stressful, but they are almost inevitable. Let's face it, no relationship is perfect and no marriage can be entirely without conflict. There is a wide-spread myth that to be an "adult" is to be able to resolve your own marital issues, without the help of others. This could not be further from the truth.

In reality, one of the most mature steps you can take in a dysfunctional relationship is to seek professional aid. Couples sometimes require assistance in resolving marital issues. This is especially true if these issues are driving you to consider divorce.

If you are considering divorcing your husband or you are worried current tensions will eventually lead to divorce, you may wish to visit couple's therapy.

What is Couple's Therapy?

Couple's therapy or relationship counseling is a process through which relationship problems are recognized, discussed, and-ideally-successfully managed. Through this process you should be able to make informed, reasonable decisions about the state of your relationship with your husband.

Couple's therapy does not always have to "save your marriage." Sometimes these counseling sessions will allow you to clearly articulate your reasons for wanting to divorce your husband. This clarity may help in making a divorce less charged with emotion and one that is easier for the both of you to cope with.

Before seeking marriage counseling you and your husband must both be sure that:

• You are both willing to try couple's therapy
• You are both open to learning more about yourselves

Without these two factors, relationship counseling is essentially worthless. If one or neither of you is willing to be engaged in the process, it is essentially impossible to achieve a satisfactory result through couple's therapy. At this point, you may find that a Virginia divorce is your only option.
