Why Do You Think Marriage/Couples Counseling Works For Some Relationships And Not For Others? (Page 2)

[slatyb]

Some couples really want to find a way to stay together and both are willing to change their behavior. In other couples, one is unwilling to change. Those couples divorce.

[kingofthellamas]

Well, the inverse of your statement - that it works for all of the relationships - would be false so yup. I agree.

[genericname85]

well because in some couples the conflict lines are just not managable. couple counseling is not wizzardry.

[SenseiSeptred]

Because to want is to sin, and that desire is what causes half of these problems in the first place.

[Red_Arrow]

Willingness to actually give it an honest try.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Very true? Just going through the motions isn't enough without actual effort on both parties

[KrakenAttackin]

Does it work for some couples? Every couple I have known who went to counseling eventually got divorced.

[yofuknutz]

I know and nobody wants to see this scam behind it is it is to milk your insurance companies

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yes it actually does... And for the ones it don't, it's not always because of the counseling itself, it's the people that weren't really invested in resolving the issues our saving the relationship

[yofuknutz]

Bulshit when the counselor shows bias indirectly or directly it's over you understand me you can wave a magic wand or whatever the fuck you want to do you can justify it when you start doing that and Medicine you are no longer a scientist you are a witch doctor get out of my face with rainbow bubble shit

[hahahmm]

Pre-marriage counseling is better IF the couple is smart enough to break up if they get less than an A grade (so to speak) in the sessions.

[KrakenAttackin]

@yofuknutz Yeah, if your wife picks a feminist counselor your marriage is doomed.

[loves2learn]

Counseling saved our marriage. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[KrakenAttackin]

@loves2learn For now. Let me guess, your counselor told your husband to "get in touch with his feminine side".

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Would you just stop with the sexist crap already... What a stupid assumption to make much less say. Women aren't the issue Sir, your attitude about women is.

[KrakenAttackin]

The modern counseling models effectively see men as victimising women no matter what the issue is. Men can't win and men are starting to realise this. This is why marriage rates are at 97 year lows.

[loves2learn]

@KrakenAttackin nope. He did not. Actually he agreed with a lot of what my husband said and he helped us get on the same page about what was important.

[KrakenAttackin]

@loves2learn So you admit you were most of the problem?

[loves2learn]

@KrakenAttackin I did NOT say that. We needed to meet each other in the middle.

Life is illusion. If your partner expects nothing out of life, then anything you do about it will be shitty.

[MrCreep]

Things like that are very depending on the people and if they even want to be better most don't if it's that far

[WowwGirl]

Willingness to listen

[Anonymous]

Because from my studies on youtube, its about narcissism. Which is about peoples thoughts...

[Waldoe]

they are incompatable

[hillbilly201]

It works for those who want it to work.
