Best Answer

In situations where a spouse or partner refuses to participate in counseling, it can be beneficial to still seek counseling for yourself. Although it is ideal to have both parties in the room, individual counseling can still be helpful when trying to clarify your concerns, identify emotions and gain insights or perspectives on how to communicate effectively, set boundaries, etc. You may find that as you progress and grow on your own in the relationship, your partner/spouse may become more interested in the process and willing to participate later down the road.

You must have had a reason why you left your husband. If those problems are not solved, you will face the same problems when you go back. The other thing is: how will your husband treat you when you come back? I would recommend you a marriage counseling before you move back to your husband.


Should you get marriage counseling before getting married?

I would suggest that you go for a marriage counseling before you get married. It really helps when you apply what you learn...

No offence because this is coming from a young age I told my mother the same thing!

How do you forget your boyfriend and go back to your husband?

You and your husband have a commitment together. If he is still committed to you and your marriage despite your inattention, leave the boyfriend and concentrate on the husband and the balance of your lives. Perhaps get counseling so you can get closer in heart and mind.


Would a man attend marriage counseling with his wife if he believes there are no problems in the marriage?

Many men don't think there is anything wrong with their marriage and if they are forced to go they often blame the wife for the problems or better yet, deny anything is wrong with the marriage. Obviously you aren't happy and he's not listening to what you have to say. It takes good communication skills and trust in each other to keep a marriage going. No one said that marriage was easy and every day each one of us that is married has to work on that marriage. Your husband is not in the right fram of mind. It's time to start communicating and if he doesn't want to sit and talk with you (my husband and go for walks and it relaxes both parties this way) and with his attitude don't waste your money on a marriage counselor. Just because he doesn't feel there is anything wrong with your marriage doesn't mean there isn't. Marriage counseling isn't for everyone but you and your husband are adults and you should communicate and make some effort to change things in your marriage so you are both fairly happy. Perhaps plan on a vacation away (it can be to another country or simply a romantic trip to the mountains and stay in a nice cabin.) The bottom line ... "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink!" If your husband refuses to communicate or listen to your feelings and refuses counseling then you are going to have to ask yourself if you want to stay together because it sure won't get better. Good luck

Will counseling help your marriage?

Women are more accepting of marriage counseling than men. Some men will go to counseling and try, but a larger percent will go just to please their spouse and often times only half listen to what the counselor is saying. However, seeing a marriage counselor is a good idea and if your spouse does not want to cooperate then you will have to make a decision whether to stay in the marriage or not.
