For many people who are in troubled marriages, marriage counseling before divorce may seem like a logical step before talking to attorneys. In some cases, entering into couples therapy can have significant benefits for both spouses as well as the marital relationship. On the other hand, seeking counseling can make matters worse, particularly if the chosen therapist is not skilled at relationship counseling or there is some type of abuse or exploitation going on within the marriage. The pros and cons of marriage counseling before divorce depend significantly on the couple, their circumstances, and their ability to obtain appropriate outside help. On the other hand, if a couple is strongly committed to the idea of marriage, skilled marriage counseling may help them to avoid divorce and manage their differences in a constructive manner. If a couple pays attention to warning signs in their marriage and seeks out third-party help quickly, they may find that couples therapy actually strengthens their relationship and they can move on from a rough patch happier and more in tune with each other than ever before.
