We got to the point of nearly calling off the wedding when my fiance wanted to go for couples counseling. He really wanted to go and I just really did not. This put an even greater strain on an already volatile situation.
This is normal by the way, for a person to not want to go for counsel and I’ll tell you why. The resistance is because the person knows they have to talk about very private issues and that is hard. This is a cause for concern when you need someone outside of your close union to intervene.
You might think to yourself, that this is ridiculous, I don’t need help with anything, we can work this out on our own. Well, it is my bet that if you are reading this article, then you need some outside help with your relationship.
It doesn’t mean weakness if you decide to go to a couples counselor. Rather, it should make you feel stronger, since you have the guts to face the issues head on and go through some possibly difficult sessions in order to make things better in your lives. Every one in this life has these painful times.
I am an extrovert and have around 400 people in my world that I can say I know and am more than just an acquaintance with. Including relatives and church people, and there is not one couple not struggling at this moment with something or have some issue that they needed to resolve. People who have Jesus are just as vulnerable as anyone with the same issues.
If it seems like they have it all together, it is more likely that they don’t. They simply have the faith that their God will see them through the valleys and bring them to the mountaintop where they will see clearly again. Don’t wait if your friendship is in trouble, get some counseling.
My feeling is that a person who believes in the Bible will be a great help in your relationship since there is a greater understanding in them about God’s word on relationships staying in tact and not divorcing or dividing. If they are following the word of God, they will be inclined to work with you to the enth degree to bring beauty from the ashes.
You may think, because you aren’t Christian that you can’t go for Christian couples counseling, but you would be mistaken. If you just don’t want to go to one, then thing about why you think that way and if you still feel compelled to not get church counsel then please go somewhere. The phone book is full of qualified people who desire to help you. Trust me, you will be happy in the long run if you just jump right in and seek help today.
