Couples Counseling Could Save Your Relationship

By Sabrina Summerfield

When my husband and I were going through a nasty spell we went to a trusted source for couples counseling and direction. It seemed more important to me at that time than it did for my husband, which made our relationship even more strained.

It isn't uncommon for one party to be inclined to go for help and the other to resist. The reason for this is a simple one. There is a deep concern inside some people, to keep their private life private. This can pose a problem when trouble in your "private" relationship might need some outside intervention.

You might think to yourself, that this is ridiculous, I don't need help with anything, we can work this out on our own. Well, it is my bet that if you are reading this article, then you need some outside help with your relationship.

There is no loss of points for anyone in this life who comes to the point where they realize their need for help. In fact, you should be rewarded for being honest with yourself and your mate that it might be time to seek counseling. This is a tough world these days and you are not alone in your struggles.

I am an extrovert and have around 400 people in my world that I can say I know and am more than just an acquaintance with. Including relatives and church people, and there is not one couple not struggling at this moment with something or have some issue that they needed to resolve. People who have Jesus are just as vulnerable as anyone with the same issues.

They might seem to have a handle on everything, but generally, if they are real, they are just walking by faith, believing that God will help them work everything out. If you are having difficulties with your relationship, get with a couple's counselor and seek good sound advice.

My feeling is that a person who believes in the Bible will be a great help in your relationship since there is a greater understanding in them about God's word on relationships staying in tact and not divorcing or dividing. If they are following the word of God, they will be inclined to work with you to the enth degree to bring beauty from the ashes.

If you are not a Christian person, then you will still benefit from a church counselor. If you feel compelled to resist that type of couples counseling; then you might want to ask yourself why. If you come up with no truly good reason, then go. But in an effort to do something, please, take the advice of someone who knows, and go to someone, the phone book is full of good counselors who are qualified to help you and your mate. Pick up the telephone today and get started on the road to reconciliation, you will be glad you did.
