Couples Counseling

Did it help your relationship with your SO/DH? What happened each time? How long did you have to go for before you noticed a change?

TIA

Anyone.....Bump?  

i have DONE marriage counseling before and now we are in marriage counseling after being married a month to help deal with him lying which has been an ongoing problem. we have our 3rd session tomorrow. for us we didn't let things get THAT bad that it was like a do or get out type situation which is what i always saw with my clients. they were going to counseling as a last ditch effort so they could say they tried everything. but we aren't to that point we just want to try to get some assistance before it does get to that point so i don't think we are too helpful here lol. it has helped us in the sense that there is a 3rd party there that is objective.

Quoting one of each 4 me:" i have DONE marriage counseling before and now we are in marriage counseling after being married a month ... [snip!] ... so i don't think we are too helpful here lol. it has helped us in the sense that there is a 3rd party there that is objective."

Thanks for replying  
This is our last effort before totally quitting. I know we should have gone sooner, but it kept getting put off so we could fight. I hope it works for us  

Me & my husband have had about 3 sessions already. No major difference yet. I just recently caught him lying to me again about the same thing that we originally started counseling for. So now I've separated myself from him. Good luck to you. I think it's important to find counseling early & to be honest with each other & the counselor otherwise there's no point in really pursuing counseling.

We've been going for 2 months once a week. It's a slow process that takes work of both people. I think it can only help if both people listen and try to change

I have gone 4 times with my husband and there is a big change. I like how they separated us into our own counseling time and will regroup. I like it and it's definitely helping us.
