It takes the two people in the marriage to make it want to work. If you are willing and your partner isn't then your counselor is correct. Stats show that women are far more willing to seek out marriage counseling (along with their partner) to try to save their marriage, than males. Even if the male goes along with his spouse, he usually refuses to cooperate and will put the blame on his partner far quicker than himself, or, he just doesn't want to work on the marriage because he feels it's easier to move on, or, he may have a mistress. I was married before as well and even though my ex was a woman chaser, mental/physical abuser I gave it my best shot by making an appointment with a marriage counselor (my ex had promised to give it a go) but he didn't bother to turn up. I got the message loud and clear! Good luck Marcy
a counselor says that her client hits because he is hungry with his co-workers. What mistake is the counselor making?
The barrel in the story is where the marriage counselor says the picture of his daughter should have been so Finkle didn't see it. He then goes on to think of it as the Magic Barrel.
In many cases a marriage can be saved if the couple realize the problems in their marriage, but when a husband says there is no hope this could be an indication that he simply does not want to try and save the marriage. Communication is the biggest thing in any relationship so sit down with your husband and ask if he would consider seeing a Marriage Counselor with you and hopefully he will. However, a large percentage of men do not like to air out their private lives to any counselor (perhaps it makes them feel less of a man) or fear of being accused that he is the problem in the marriage. Explain to him that the counselor is not there to cast blame on either of you, but get to the root of the problems and give you both the tools to deal with problems that rise up in any marriage. If your husband refuses to try then risk kicking him out of the house and tell him he has his freedom and unless he wants to try to save the marriage you will file for divorce. Perhaps each of you getting some space from each other will clear up how you truly feel about each others because sometimes 'you can't see the forest for the trees.'
If he is willing to work things out he should be happy to go to marriage counseling. Find a licensed marriage counselor, it will be a good place to start. Good luck.
The bible says you are saved by grace , and not by your great deeds.
When someone drinks too much alcohol it can loosen the tongue and they may say things they don't mean or, it may also make them be more open and honest. The only way you will know if he wants to end the marriage is by talking to him when he is sober and remind him of what he said. It is obvious there are some problems in your marriage so good communication skills are a must and perhaps seeing a marriage counselor.
Sit down and talk with your husband calmly. Listen to him and don't get overly emotional. Right now that will not help the situation. Ask him to explain what areas of the relationship are making him unhappy and what you both can do to make things better. Discuss the possibility of seeing a marriage counselor if the marriage is something you are both willing to work towards saving.
If you are saved the bible says that you will be forever with the lord and also says indirectly that you will know your love ones. The unsaved will be eternally separated from GOD and the Saints (the saved).
If that is what he believes then that is his right.
Chances are, if she says she's not looking for marriage, she's probably not.
