The bottom line is a councilor can help a marriage but God is the only one who can save a marriage.

Let go and let God. Nothing else matters.

Assuming you find a) a good therapist and b) who is the right person for your situation, good outcomes can occur. Save the marriage and two people resolve issues, grow, and move on, great. If you separate, it can still be helpful. You may leave better understanding yourself, your spouse, and why it didn't work. This is very important when setting out on your own and finding a new person.

I think it more has to do with the piece of shite Lafayette priest. He is making her think that it's her fault he is cheating so she should pray to be a better wife.
Why the frick would somebody take marriage advice from a 40 year old homosexual virgin.

Probably nothing. He just consoled himself with some irrational religious belief due to a random event.

In fairness, he’s probably not a virgin.

It helps if you leave it at the door and actually listen to the counselor. Find one with a PHD in psychology at least. If you can’t listen and understand a professional communicator, then you won’t with an amateur ( spouse ) and We’ve found the problem

What a lovely story.
I especially like this part where she continued to screw her dying best friend’s husband for several weeks while she was in marriage counseling.

I do a fair bit of pastoral marriage counseling. I’ve seen some pretty amazing things happen to marriages through counseling. It’s not a miracle cure. Usually just providing some accountability to put in the work makes all the difference. To me the most important thing is each partner taking serious their responsibility for their on need to change instead of primarily worrying about the other person, if they both do that the success rate is dang near 100%.

Meauxjeaux thank you for sharing that story. It brought tears to my eyes and it was exactly what I needed to read this am.

As long as both people go in willing to admit they are part of the problem and actively work to fix it, then I think counseling will always be a net positive. It's done great things in our marriage. But it's because both of us want it to work and are willing to put in the work.
this is the correct answer
counseling for relationships is mostly a way to force communication about issues and then develop a plan to work on them
but with everything in life, you have to want to do it and have to be willing to put in the work of self-examination and effort to complete the steps to working through the complications
