For people on the verge of divorce:
She really tells it like it is. You could condense the week to week marriage counseling for one visit of brutal honesty, and looking you straight in the eye telling you what your problem IS…she can even tell when you’re lying. Do you think you could handle it?

Not marriage counseling, counseling for the whole family, all siblings and both parents.

What do words like "concerns" and "services" mean? Is that what they specialize in? Besides price, what other factors do I consider? I’m pretty new to this, but we need some good marriage counseling…

I am currently i college Freshman with a soiciology degree but Im not sure if that can get me where i need to go for marriage counseling. What majordo i need?

Last year my husband and I were in marriage counseling together, sometimes seeing our therapist separately. In one of our first visits she told us that "trial separations almost always lead to divorce" and didn’t recommend it.
Recently, my husband admitted to me that one of the reasons he didn’t want to continue with her (mostly due to to a complete lack of actual guidance) was that she told him during one of his sessions that he should consider a trial separation from me.
Given her previous statement…am I crazy, or did she basically tell him to leave me?
I think that if that’s your honest recommendation, that a couple shouldn’t be together, you should tell them that together, not go to one spouse and drop ideas in their ear. Was this an ethical move? It just doesn’t seem right to me, and I am really bothered since having heard about it.

I am a stay home mother of two thinking about getting back to work. I used to be a statistical programmer but I am interested in marriage counseling. It is a completely different field so I would like to find out more about the career: training, licensing, work life, etc.

I believe conversation is the seed to understanding and notice that many couples are turning to the internet (Face Book, Porn, etc…) and this takes time away time from couples to communicate with each other.

Then when relationships start going down hill, we run to marriage counseling and results, most of the time, is lack of communication.

How can there be communication when couples are getting screen blindness from being on the internet so long?

I would like to read some of your inputs. Thanks

I’m trying to make an ad for marriage counseling/workshop programs. Now I’m looking for interesting questions to put on the ad/flyer. It should be something that would attract people’s interest to the program, like:

Do you want to strengthen communication? Improve intimacy?

Including an important, attractive message.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance

I’ve known my husband for about 13 years now, and I love him to death. We are having a lot of difficulties lately to the point that I want to move on with my life. I really want to try marriage counseling, because there is a lack of communication, trust, understanding. I think that with some help, we can save our marriage and be happy together.
Does counseling really help for those who have tried? How much will it cost? Where can I find a good counselor in NJ?

What’s the difference between couple’s therapy and marriage counseling? I do support premarital counseling. I don’t really care if a dating couple goes for couple’s therapy. Only when it’s on my tax dollars do I care.
As for those who told me I don’t know what I’m talking about in the previous post, and got mad at my previous question regarding this, it was JUST A QUESTION. No need for getting mad. If you can answer without getting mad, fine, but if not, then don’t answer. I don’t recall getting upset at any of your questions.
Okay, premarital counseling isn’t required by law. We weren’t required to do it. But what’s the diffence in the approaches of therapy between couple’s therapy and marriage counseling. Is couple’s therapy not as intense as marriage counseling?
Now is couple’s therapy and marriage counseling the same thing? If not, what’s the difference, other than one isn’t a bona fide legal relationship and one is?
