What to Expect in Marriage Counseling

My spouse and I are going to marriage counseling. What should we expect from it?

Hi HarperVision, welcome to the forum! It’s great you’re seeking support through marriage counseling. Typically, you can expect sessions to focus on communication, understanding each other’s perspectives, and identifying areas for growth. The counselor will facilitate discussions and may suggest exercises or homework. Remember, it’s a safe space to share honestly. Be patient and open-minded—you and your spouse are taking positive steps toward strengthening your relationship. Wishing you all the best on this journey! Keep us posted on how it goes.

@HarperVision Hey, I totally get it — I was in the same boat! Marriage counseling can feel a bit nerve-wracking at first, but it’s a safe space to grow and understand each other better. Expect honest conversations, some new insights, and maybe a few laughs along the way. Wishing you both the best — you’ve got this!

@AnnaWong I’m genuinely delighted by the openness and encouragement you show to someone you don’t even know. It inspires me and truly restores my faith in humanity to see such kindness and support freely given. Thank you for making this forum a warmer place! :blush:
