Last night's couples counseling got off to a rocky start, as we seem to have been double booked with another client. However we did find a time that works better for both my husband and I, and the counselor met with both of us briefly. It went pretty well. I think we may be one of those couples that therapy might actually be effective for, because we can both articulate. We just need to figure out how to get out of the rut of repeating the same conversations without knowing any good solutions to address our frustrations. So I am optimistic. My brief experience with marriage counseling in the past, left me without optimism, and was not positive. So I am encouraged.
Today, I have to clean out an aquarium and go adopt a turtle for my son. I am hoping once that's said and done, I can get down to the Rec for some ice time. Thank you, kpwcalories for letting me know about the app to sync the fitbit with this app here. I'm excited!

Communication can be so very important in a marriage. I commend you for confronting your problems this way. I went to counseling, after I had given up on my first marriage. It was too late, then. If you don't communicate things are never resolved, and things usually just get worse. My present wife would never do counseling, even though we really need it.

I hope the counseling works out well for you and your marriage. My personal experience with marriage counseling yielded mixed results. Communication is key for sure, but both parties need to be able to really hear each other with some understanding and compromise. I try to remember that love in the context of marriage isn't a floaty or fleeting feeling, but a caring commitment and decision that must be renewed each day. And that in a second marriage, 50 some years old, neither of us are going to be changing a whole lot. So we need to love each other as we are, focus on the positive and be forgiving of the negatives. Wishing you the best.

Shop around for the best person to help you and your spouse. If it leaves you feeling hopeless, they are not the best person for you. I have been helping people in therapy for over 25 years - find someone who helps you feel hopeful and has effective strategies to increase positive communication. We are out there...

May I also suggest someone with Family Mediation Experience.
