Many of us, especially men think that marriage counseling is a joke.
This is not saying that women do not feel the same.
It's only that when it comes time for counseling you will find that the lady is the one who is asserting herself more than the man.
Maybe it is because they feel like no one else is expected to tell them how to run the marriage or is it because they are insecure and do not want a third person to know their feelings.
Whatever the case we must learn how to listen, talk and express ourselves as well as be more understanding to others.
A marriage involves two people and to make that marriage work the two of you will have to learn how to corporate with each other.
One such way is to actually attending a few marriage counseling classes.
This applies even if you think you do not need them.
Most churches offer this counseling classes for newly weds as well as for those who are about to get married.
Even older couples have their marriage counseling classes.
Attending this counseling classes doesn't make you a sissy if that is what you think or does mean your marriage isn't working.
It just shows that you are willing to go to any length to keep the marriage working and stable.
There are marriage counselors who charge a certain fee to counsel you in how a health, stable and understanding marriage should work.
So if there is something ailing you about your spouse or marriage then a marriage counselor, your priest or pastor and even your family members especially your parents can always provide you with good and sufficient advice to which you should follow.
