sara asked:


For most couples, does it help to improve marriages? Does it change ones outlook and help one or both people decide on what they want?

Ms. B asked:


Tonight is my husband and I are going to marriage counseling. He had an emotional affair with a 20 year old. He says he loves her romantically but he is willing to give us a try. I just wondered what to expect tonight if anyone has gone through this.

Or who do child psychologists talk to when their children are behaving like the spawn of satan?

Any thoughts?

helly asked:


When going through a difficult patch in your marriage, do you ever tell friends or family about it, or do you keep it to yourself?

If so, why? If not, why not?

sweets asked:


Ever since our little girl was born (8 months ago), my husband and I do nothing but fight. We’ve been together 10 years and have always had a very happy, healthy relationship.

I’ve heard that the first year after a baby is born is really tough and stressful on the “couple”, but I never expected this. We argue about absolutely everything.

We both really try to make a conscious effort to stop fighting. We’ll try to do things like have “date nights” and usually when we spend some time alone, things get better for a while. But then something will happen (it can be the smallest thing!) and off we go again.

I’ve suggested counselling, but he won’t admit that it’s bad enough to seek professional help. It doesn’t help that I’ve been battling post partum depression since she was born.

Any advice out there from couples who have been through this? Is this a phase? Does it get better?

Jillian asked:


My marriage is in the toilet and we’ve decided to either get help or split up. We still love each other and I desparately want things to work out.
It’s the second marriage for both of us and it seems like we keep repeating the same mistakes that ruined our first marriages.

Has anyone ever tried to find a marriage counselor that offer’s counseling via the internet. Or is it even legal to do this.
