How do you know when it’s time to get seek marriage help from a marriage counselor? The simple answer is when you’ve tried everything you know to do to fix your marriage and everything you’ve tried just isn’t working—then, it’s time to seek a marriage counselor.

You Just Can’t Communicate
The inability to communicate is the number 1 reason why many couples go to a marriage counselor. You may try to talk about certain issues but your conversations only end up with you fighting and feeling angry, hurt, disappointed, or frustrated. So, rather than fighting, you just stop talking and start shutting down—verbally, emotionally, physically, and sexually. It’s time to get some marriage help.
You’re Extremely Upset Emotionally
You may be so upset that you don’t sleep well, eat well, and start having physical symptoms. We believe that there is a relationship between “dis—ease” and disease. When you are so emotionally upset that your health and well being are affected, you need marriage help right away to ease your discomfort.
