Is it worth seeking out a marriage counselor?

I had already posted a question because my wife recently told me she doesn't love me anymore. She says that she would be open to see a marriage counselor, but she initially wanted some space. Does anyone have any experience with marriage counselors? How effective are they? I'm willing to turn things around because I love her deeply.Is it worth seeking out a marriage counselor?
My husband and I have gone several times and I consider ours a happy marriage. In all marriages problems occasionally arise, when we had a problem we just couldn't settle ourselves we went to marriage counseling and every single time we found a solution or a compromise. Not everyone will have the positive results we had, it depends on how honest you are and what you put into it. At the very least it shows you did everything you could to save a marriage.Is it worth seeking out a marriage counselor?
I've been to several marriage counselors for my past marriage. They didn't help in the end, but I'd say it's worth a try anyway.. if things still don't work out, at least you'll know you did everything you can!


If you visit a counselor and you don't feel that he/she is helping, try another one until you find one that works. I suggest since your wife is the one who is struggling with her feelings, your best bet is to find a woman, rather than a man, who can more easily see things from your wife's viewpoint.
Every situation is different. Is it worth it? OF COURSE it is worth it, since anything that may help is worth a try. I have been to a marriage counselor. It did not help me since the guy I went with had his own personal issues that were not condusive to a healthy relationship. However, your case may be different. Give it a try and the best of luck to you. I hope you get back together
Marriage counseling saves a lot of marriages. If you don't like them you can get another one. However, you need to give them time at least 6 weeks would be a good time frame to try them out then if they are good stick it out until everything is resolved.
well it all depends on how committed you both are to fixing things.


if she is wishy washy and doesn't put her heart into it then money spent on a therapist may be wasted.


you need to first have a heart to heart with her and see where she stands.





good luck
I think if you love her enough you will try anything to make it turn around.

I can speak from the heart on this matter. My wife filed papers on me in Feb. of 07. It was on a Friday, had to be the worst day of my life. We talked it thru and sought out marriage counseling. We did counseling for over year and a half. It did wonders for us. We have been married for over 17 years and you build up a lot of tension and frustration over the years and some of us just need a way to let it all out in the open. Marriage counseling was the best thing that ever happened to us, our marriage could not be any better now.
its a time waister if you ask me .. i was married 30 years there is to much hurt and pain.. i can't go over and over the pain.. i am sorry you still love her it will go away in time..
