How do you know when you need to see a Marriage Counselor?

Stupied question right? And if i'm asking this question on a social network then i've probably already answered my own Q: but if you're at the point where you feel you need to see one, then you're in a bad place right? and if you're there U-Turns are not allowed. So I guess i'm looking for someone to co-sign or tell me i'm wrong.How do you know when you need to see a Marriage Counselor?
Go to counseling, if you feel you need to.


IMO, counseling will only work, if BOTH of you really want to make positive changes and to deal with your issues.


I hope it works for you.

It's better to see a couples counselor BEFORE the major issues arise. Too many people think couples counseling is a last ditch resort, so they wait until all of their issues stock pile up, then it's so much stuff to wade through to work out. Don't let it get to that point. If you're having marital issues, even minor ones, that you're not resolving on your own, see a couples counseling. It's better to go for a few sessions now to resolve things, than to go for months or years of counseling down the road when you're on the brink of divorce and you're both unhappy and impatiently waiting results of counseling.
Not necessarily...my husband always wants to go to counseling...but for petty stuff. Seriously, if the behavior is harmful you need counseling. If you're bickering about household chores or other petty nonsense, that stuff you can work out at home with some honest talk and sensible solutions...If you're going to pay for counseling, it's gotta be for serious deep rooted problems that multiple sessions with a professional can help to heal/correct.
It really isn't as bad as it seems or may appear...it is a form of trying to get help to keep things from getting worse. Listen, sometimes life just gets to us and we lose each others ability to communicate. Marriage counseling is a way to help you recapture that magic that you once had. The ability to be open and understanding. It takes you back to your roots of how you first saw each other and what it would mean to lose one another..it makes you see what you have not been able to see and gives you fresh ides to spark that desire to be more with each other. You go because you don't want to give up...kinda like when you get a tooth ache it is better to go soon so you can get it fixed...easy way...fast...and be able to hold onto that tooth for a many more years. Don't make a U-turn that might be what you regret in the end... it may not be easy finding out things..but keep an open mind and remember that you are there to find each other and fix this and love again..a lot!! Best of wishes think positive..
When your not getting along, When you can't remember the last time you made love, When you can't communicate without arguing, When you haven't spoken a word to each other for days or weeks, and When both of you go to bed unhappy because you don't know what's wrong or how to fix things, then it's time for marriage counseling.
Yes, you're in a bad spot.





But, you really need to see one when you start to really be abnormally disgusted with your spouse.
Theraphy saved my marraige. I would say iots needed when bith parties want to make it work but doing it alone seems impossible. Like if the love is there but the trust is not.
You have answered your question.
When neither you or the spouse is happy.
Keep looking.
