Yes! Marriage counseling works. However, is seeking professional marriage counseling necessary?

Some people would recommend marriage counseling. Most often advise marriage counseling is not necessary.

What is indeed marriage counseling? How does marriage counseling work?

Most urge to discuss marital problems with the people directly involved in the problem. The advice is definitely correct. You and involved person should personally discuss and solve problems. Nothing is better than it.

However, directly dealing with problems alone is incomplete. You still need to consult people not directly involved in the problem. Any problem needs objective understanding to find the best solution. Talking with people outside the problem is the best way to understand the problem.

In either way, marriage counseling works with or without all the people involved in the problem. Discussing and understanding a problem are two of the marriage counseling processes. The whole effective communication process is part and tool of marriage counseling. Releasing emotional tensions related with the marital problem is another marriage counseling process. Finding the best marriage solution is another process.

Anybody could practice all these marriage counseling process. Any couple would not need any professional marriage counselor. Any couple, therefore, would not need any professional marriage counseling anymore. However, any couple should still consult other people to clearly understand marital problems and find the best solution. They cannot necessarily be professional psychologist, psychiatrist and counselors. They could be your parents, siblings, friends, relatives, officemates, and colleagues. They can even be anyone not involved in the marital problem. What is important, these people could give you an objective assessment of your marital problem.

Though people involved in the marital problem are the best people to solve problems, they are not always the best people. These people are not the best problem solvers when they are emotionally attached with the problem. Therefore, involve both people related and not related with the problem. So, does marriage counseling work? Yes!
