Its a crucial time to be honest with your partner about everything that may be wrong in your marriage! I also went to a counselor with my ex husband. In the end it didn't work for us because soon after we started he began to get physically abusive I and believe strongly that no child should be in an abusive enviroment! So we divorced. But I do know many people that have gone through and it has worked for them. I wish you the best of luck. Just remember that you can't control what your husband does. You must put your all in it and if it doesn't work out then in the end you will have the peace that you absolutely gave it your all! Please keep us posted on how you are doing and if you ever need to chat then just message me! Take care sweetie and good luck!

However, my husband and i did counseling and we are now in the process of a divorce. I think you will get as much out of it as both people are willing to put into it. Though i gave it my all, i think my husband didn't make any effort other than physically showing up so it counseling didn't help. Like Robin, i live by the prayer "God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, change the things i can and the wisdom to know the difference". A trouble marriage, especially when children are involved is a stressful scary time. I hope you have great success and have a stronger, happier marriage in the end!

It will help to clarify the bigger picture. BUt it can only do that if you are both honest about everything, even the hard to say stuff. As well as you both admitting to those faults you both pocess. It works if you want it to work. laws of attraction :) I went through counceling and it did a great deal of help. I learned the serenity prayer to a T.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
The first step to healing is admiting you need help and getting it :) (()) DH and I almost divorced, it was awful and we are happier then ever now, married almost 16 years and had a 3rd child after the troubles were disolved :)
