Couples Counseling Could Save Your Relationship
Friday, March 5th, 2010We got to the point of nearly calling off the wedding when my fiance wanted to go for couples counseling. He really wanted to go and I just really did not. This put an even greater strain on an already volatile situation.
This is normal by the way, for a person to not want to go for counsel and I’ll tell you why. The resistance is because the person knows they have to talk about very private issues and that is hard. This is a cause for concern when you need someone outside of your close union to intervene.
You might think to yourself, that this is ridiculous, I don’t need help with anything, we can work this out on our own. Well, it is my bet that if you are reading this article, then you need some outside help with your relationship.
There is no loss of points for anyone in this life who comes to the point where they realize their need for help. In fact, you should be rewarded for being honest with yourself and your mate that it might be time to seek counseling. This is a tough world these days and you are not alone in your struggles.
I have about four hundred friends and relatives and a close church family, and I truly don’t know one single couple who hasn’t struggled in some way with some thing. Don’t think for a minute that just because someone is walking with Jesus that they don’t have the same troubles as everyone else.
It might appear that they have it all handled but the truth is that they are waiting for God to work a miracle, to intervene in a mighty way and turn the bad to good. Don’t wait for a bigger blow out before you get some counsel.
My feeling is that a person who believes in the Bible will be a great help in your relationship since there is a greater understanding in them about God’s word on relationships staying in tact and not divorcing or dividing. If they are following the word of God, they will be inclined to work with you to the enth degree to bring beauty from the ashes.
If you are not a Christian person, then you will still benefit from a church counselor. If you feel compelled to resist that type of couples counseling; then you might want to ask yourself why. If you come up with no truly good reason, then go. But in an effort to do something, please, take the advice of someone who knows, and go to someone, the phone book is full of good counselors who are qualified to help you and your mate. Pick up the telephone today and get started on the road to reconciliation, you will be glad you did.
