If you feel like your marriage might be in trouble it probably is.
Every marriage is unique but there are a number of common warning signs that could spell trouble.
If you have been considering when to get marriage counseling, here are 5 signs that your marriage needs help: 1.
Lack of intimacy or sex - if either one of you has become uninterested in physical contact for more than a few months this is definitely a warning sign.
2.
Where did the trust go? - If you or your partner feel suspicious of each other or if lying has become part of the relationship that is a problem.
3.
Would you rather be apart than together? - Do you or your spouse find yourselves making more and more excuses to be away from each other? 4.
Has either one of you been unfaithful? - Or has the temptation become more and more intoxicating? 5.
Continuing to fight about the same things over and over - healthy marriages involve the ability to successfully resolve conflicts so they don't keep showing up over and over.
Perhaps you have tried counseling and it didn't work.
You are not alone! In fact, traditional couples counseling has only about a 20% success rate! Why is this? Because most people who call themselves marriage counselors are trained in individual counseling and have very little idea how to save a marriage.
You might both end up benefitting personally from this counseling, but it may not do much for your marriage.
So what is the answer? I am not a doctor or a therapist but I experienced personally the pain and frustration of a broken marriage.
Couples counseling didn't work.
Individual counseling didn't work.
Just when I thought there was no hope, I stumbled upon an approach that I had heard was working for couples even when only one partner wanted to save the marriage! And this approach had nearly a 90% success rate and was guaranteed! What did I have to lose? Let me ask you...
