Married After Kids

Ep. 107: My Spouse Won’t Go to Counseling. Now What?


Listen Later

Are you dealing with a spouse who refuses counseling? I’ve been in your shoes and understand just how frustrating it can be. You feel completely stuck and not sure what to do to move your relationship forward. 

 

In this episode, we dive into why your partner isn’t accepting help and what you can do about it. Spoiler alert: It’s not about convincing them. Listen in to get a better understanding of what your spouse may be thinking and arm yourself with tools to communicate what you need for a stronger marriage.

 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • The reasons why your spouse may be against marriage counseling or coaching

  • Why friends and family are not the people who can best support you

  • How to bring up the topic of counseling without causing a fight

  • What we need to do to have a more productive conversation

  • One game-changing tool to help you understand your partner better

  • How to communicate (not convince!) your reasons for wanting to get support and why it’s important to you
