Chapter 6: Places To Get Free Counseling



Marriage  is  hard  work  and  anyone  who  says  otherwise  is  not  really committed to making it for  the long haul. Along with the hard work there are also times of great joy and fulfillment, but when this is not forthcoming  for  quite  a while,  then,  it  is  time  to  seek  some  outside help.  This  help  ideally  should come  in  the  form  of  marriage counseling.

The following are some places that one should explore for the purpose of seeking outside help to try and save or create a better and stronger marriage relationship:

Where To Go


Reading as much as possible on the subject would be helpful. When there  are  problems  published  that  are  similar  to  the  ones  the individual is going through the general experience and outcome could be  applied  or  at  least  tried.

Sometimes  it  would  be  helpful  to  know that there are others that have gone through the same situation and that it is possible to overcome it successfully.

Seeking counseling from a priest is also another option for those who are more religiously inclined. This is helpful only if both parties are open  and  willing  to explore  options  that  are  closely  linked  to  the religious angle or take on things.

This  is  also  a  very  helpful  option,  if  both  parties  are  known  to  the priest taking on the counseling session, as it would give all concerned a better and clearly take on the whole situation.

For some joining a support group would be a more suitable match, as they  would prefer  to  hear  several  different  views  on  the  matter  and also for its non threatening and non judgmental base.

Being  in  a  group  will  allow  both  parties  to  be  able  to  hear  several different types  or  suggestions  and  opinions  that  may  prove  to  be helpful and practical.
