Is Marriage Counseling Worth It?

If you and I have been hanging out together for a while on this podcast, then you already know how I feel now about marriage canceling, I mean marriage counseling. So don’t even get me started! Who even approved this topic for the podcast anyway? But there is one very specific kind of marriage counseling that I believe can help, which I’ll tell you about. If you’re wondering whether marriage counseling is worth it, it means you’re looking for some relief and maybe some validation that you were abandoned, duped, or abused, like I did. I dragged my husband to counseling so that the counselor could fix him and I could finally be happy. Of course, that’s not how you get the outcome you’re wanting. And that’s the real reason you go to marriage counseling, for the outcome. On today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we’re talking about whether marriage counseling is worth it.

Then, my guest Teresa was so exhausted from doing everything in her marriage that she became resentful and bitter toward her husband, who never seemed happy. She was committed to her relationship but felt like the only one who was struggling. Then she made a few pivotal changes, and her husband started to look at her differently. Today, the resentment is gone; instead, she feels loved and cherished. She’s going to tell us how she did it so you can do it too.
