Typically when a therapist suggests marriage counseling every two weeks instead of once per week, it means that progress is being made and the clients are in a stable enough place in their relationship to not come in as often. It is common for therapists to encourage couples to increase the work they are doing with each other at home, so as to not become dependent on the sessions as the only place to communicate or work on their relationship. It tends to be a good thing if a couple is at a place where their counselor sees it appropriate to begin increasing the length of time between sessions.

If you have a master's degree in school counseling what can you do to become a licensed counseling psychologist?

I am not 100% sure but you would probably need to go back to school and take the necessary classes and licensure to be able to practice independently. I am pursuing an M.Ed in School Counseling now and have wondered the same thing in case I decide later on not to work in a school setting anymore. I would do some research but I'm sure it's doable. Good luck!


Is it necessary to see a marriage councilor if a spouse disagrees to go?

In order to get help from a marriage counselor generally the two spouses need to be present so each one can discuss their problems in the marriage and the marriage counselor can decide what tools he/she can give you to help iron out the kinks in your marriage. You cannot drag your spouse to a marriage counselor as they obviously feel threatened and probably blame you for everything or are afraid of being blamed for the problems in the marriage. If you want to continue with your marriage you could see a psychologist (studies human behavior and cannot prescribe medications) and they can at least give you peace of mind and offer you some solutions to your problem. At least if you see the psychologist you will know what to do about your marriage and if the problems in your marriage warrant you to make a decision whether to stay in the marriage or leave.

How do you keep your wife from having a relationship with another woman?

Truthfully, you can't prevent it. You can ask her, beg her, plead with her, ask her to go to counseling, be logical, be emotional... do all you can. And from your comments (now in the discussion area), it looks like you have done what you could. It's her choice whether to leave the marriage and break her marriage vows. Just ask her not to, examine the consequences and decide what you want to do... but you can't stop her if that is the only thing she wants, and if she is going to put that first in her life instead of family and morality, she will. I would just try to talk her out of it, and if you can't, decide whether you are willing to stay in such a relationship. It might be best to walk away. It will be painful either way, but if she is determined, and unwilling to make the marriage work, then it will be less painful to leave than to stay.
