10 Ways to Encourage your Partner to Attend Couples Counseling

I have learned over the years that a relationship is about compromise and learning about the person I am with. Through counseling I learned that men and women really do have a different way of communicating needs, wants, and love. I learned that my husband showed his way of thinking of me or that he loved me by keeping up the mechanics on the vehicle or doing things I asked him, especially if he knows I don't like doing them myself. We decided to go to counseling before we got married and that short amount of time in therapy still helps us today. I encourage others to seek counseling to enhance or mend a broken relationship if it's not too far gone. I know how hard it is to get your significant other to participate in something like counseling because they don't believe in it or don't feel it will help. I came across this article, 10 Ways to Encourage your Partner to Attend Couples Counseling, that gives tips on how to get your spouse or significant other to at least try therapy.
