My wife has made a counseling appointment for herself to go talk for the first time, I myself also made an appointment at a different location to speak with a counselor as well. Based off your experiences, do counselors typically want you to work things out in your marriage, or would they suggest that you separate? No violence has happened in our marriage, just not on the right page all the time. I think my wife and I have communication issues, and I want to be able to work on things, but I know it's not only my decision, she would have to want too also. I guess that all depends on how much she wants to tell the counselor and if she's willing to open up with the truth, right?
