This is an easy step for some couples, and not so easy for others. Laying your problems out in the open in front of a neutral third party is intimidating to some people, especially if they’re feeling guilty or at fault for much of the breakdown of the marriage. But there’s a reason why so many couples seek marriage counseling. More often than not, it works. Counseling is a process and a way to break up the emotional logjams that you might not have even been aware of in your marriage. There are things you do that your spouse absolutely hates that you have no clue about. The same surely applies to you.
