If your marriage is in trouble and you really want to save it, the last thing you should consider is going to a marriage counselor. Although these folks create a lot of hype about how much they can do to help you put your marriage back together, they’re a lot more talk than they are show. If your counselor has never been married themselves, it stands to reason that they won’t be able to help you save yours effectively. So what is there about them that makes them experts? There are quite a few reasons why it may be better for you to go to a marriage coach instead.

1.You can’t get to the underlying issues by talking about your problems for one hour every week. With this sporadic help, you won’t be able to get the help you need nearly in time.

2.One common problem that you may have is with counselors who have a distorted vision of marriage because of their own experiences. Sometimes, a counselor may actually suggest that you get a divorce instead of trying to work the problems out.

3.The marriage counselor approach is to discuss how you are feeling. You won’t be able to fix anything by sharing how you’re feeling How can the counselor fix the issues in your marriage just by knowing whether you’re happy or sad? In fact, counselors rarely even address any problems at all.

4.Most marriage counselors have no idea which techniques work the best.

5.Couples who are not getting along need to learn conflict resolution skills, but marriage counselors don’t teach them.

6.Statistically, 75% of all couples who see marriage counselors end up getting divorced. These aren’t good statistics at all. Counselors definitely shouldn’t be charging exorbitant fees like they do.

With such a miserable rate of success, why would you trust your oh-so important marriage in the hands of one of these professionals? A better option is to seek out a trustworthy marriage coach who will take a completely different, and much more successful, approach to saving your marriage. Doc No. 34Sdlhgsdl -sds
