What Your Marriage Counsellor Doesn't Want You to Know

If you knew these things, you wouldn’t need a marriage counselor, would you? This insider info comes from psychologist Karen Sherman and from psychotherapist Wendy Allen, Ph.D., author of How to Survive the Crisis of an Affair.

From: Forbidden Advice
  1. Sixty-nine percent of all arguments between you and your partner will never be resolved. So don’t try so hard.
  2. A couple that doesn’t fight is in trouble.
  3. Having a “good enough” marriage is the most couples can expect and is actually quite an accomplishment.
  4. Letting go is sometimes better than discussing everything to death.
  5. Respect, not sex or money, is the most important factor in a happy marriage.
  6. There are marital breaches worse than an affair.
  7. A therapist cannot teach, train, or guide you to “be happy.” That is not a reasonable outcome to expect from therapy.
