Sometimes, people have their reservations about going for Counselling for different reasons. Some of them include, but not limited to, the following:
~ Some couples may have resolved never to bring a third party into their union;
~ Some may not be comfortable with opening up to people and having them know certain things about their marriage;
~ Some may think that the issue at stake is too petty for Counselling;
~ Some may have even gone for Counselling in the past, only to have the information they disclosed used against them.
Be that as it may, one question couples should ask themselves is, do we need it? This must be considered honestly. If you have tried to resolve an issue between yourselves and it seems to be drowning the relationship, you could do with the assistance of a Counsellor/Coach.
If you have reached an agreement as to the need for it, the next question should be, who can we speak to? Speak to a trusted Counsellor/Coach; one who is trusted in knowledge and counsel, and committed to the oath of confidentiality.
Be willing to take on board the counsel, try to apply the principles shared to your marriage and see what difference it would make.
Do not wait until things get out of hand, be proactive by seeking counsel.
Applying the right counsel can keep your marriage away from divorce!
