I know of so many men who wince at the thought of seeing a Marriage Counselor. I heard so many erroneous arguments from men as to why they shouldn’t go:
- “It’s our problem how can an outsider fix it”
-”It’s not like we’re going to divorce, we’re just fighting”
-”Why? Do you want to leave me?”
-”I don’t want to tell other people about our problems”
-”Why should I see a counselor, I’m not crazy?”
- “If you don’t want to be with me then just leave”
- “I can fix this”
Being a psychologist, I strongly believe in the value of Marriage Counseling. When couples are having problems, each person feels victimized and attacked. When you feel like you’re the victim, it’s hard to see the other’s person’s point of view. Getting Marriage Help will guarantee that you can extend empathy to one another and see where the other person’s coming from.
I can’t understand why people won’t do this for the most important relationship in their life. Sometimes, hearing another person’s perspective just does wonders. The counseling sessions also provide you with a venue to voice out all your concerns without attacking the other. You are also forced to face issues you’ve been avoiding which could be eating away into your relationship.
