So you’ve tried to make it work on your own, but no matter what do you it seems like
you’re marriage just isn’t getting better.
A friend recommended marriage counselling to you, but you brushed off the idea, thinking
that your marriage wasn’t that doomed.
But now, after months of trying different tips and ideas without results, you’re considering
giving it a go.
But does marriage counselling actually work, or is it just a waste of time and money?
My name is Brad Browning, I’m a marriage coach from Vancouver BC, and I’m also author
of a best-selling program called “Mend the Marriage”.
Today I want to talk to you about the ins and outs of marriage counselling, so let’s
begin with a few common situations.
Your partner is ready to end the marriage, but you’re not.
You’ve watched self help videos, read the books and even turned to your friends and
family for advice.
You’re at the point where your spouse isn’t even speaking to you much anymore, and when
you do talk, every conversation ends in a an argument.
Or maybe you never argue at all because your spouse doesn’t want to talk anymore.
You didn’t see this coming, and even if you did there was nothing you could do to
change their mind.
Your situation right now is painful, but you desperately don’t want to separate and you
truly believe that your marriage can be saved.
Traditionally, couples in crisis are advised to attend “marriage counselling” or “couples
therapy.”
In these sessions the couple would work with a counsellor who creates a safe environment,
open for honest discussions about their marriage.
Together they look for the root causes of their problems, and may concentrate on improving
certain areas of the relationship.
These areas include: communication, conflict resolution, forgiveness, trust, commitment,
intimacy and others depends on your personal situation.
Essentially, the marriage counsellor provides the tools a couple needs to confront their
marital issues, and a recovery plan.
If these are done properly, it can be helpful.
For marriage counselling to work, both spouses must be willing to attend, participate, and
work hard on facing your issues.
More importantly, they must also both believe that their marriage is salvageable and worth
saving.
It is sometimes extremely difficult to convince your ex to go down this route.
So before you dump thousands of dollars into marriage counselling, you might want to consider
investing in my Mend The Marriage program.
This is a program that I’ve poured my heart and soul into… and it will give you and
your spouse get a second chance at lifelong love.
In fact, my program has been so wildly successful that it alone has helped save thousands of
marriages -- without marriage counselling.
The great thing about it is...you don’t need don’t need your spouse’s effort right
now and you don’t need to wait around for a marriage counsellor to help you.

But if you think you’ve exhausted all other possible solutions and you’re dead set on
hiring a marriage counsellor, then you should ask yourselves the following questions:
Are you and your partner willing to change?
What is the depth of your marital problems?
How well will you and your spouse respond to a therapist’s advice and techniques?
Once you have properly evaluated your situation, you can then decide if you want to take the
next step and enroll in counselling.
You have to keep in mind that while counselling has proven somewhat successful in saving your
marriage, it isn’t going to serve as your magic bullet.
You and your spouse have to both be committed to listen and apply the advice a marriage
counsellor gives you.
No matter where you are on your quest to save your marriage, understand that needing a bit
of extra help or professional guidance is completely normal, and far more common than
most people realize.
So before you throw the towel in, take the time and actively work towards fixing the
problems in your marriage on your own first.
Remember, you may be going down a rocky road right now, but things weren’t always like
this and they most definitely don’t have to stay this way either.
Marriage counselling is the best last-ditch effort you and your spouse can make before
calling it quits.
