How do you know if your marriage therapist is doing a good job?
Asked by Wiki User
If what he/she is telling you is helping then they are doing a good job, or at least what they are meant to do. But if they are turning you against each other and making things worst, the obviously not.
A good therapist will help you both find your strengths and work with them to help you resolve the issues. They should manage the "blame game" and no one should be shamed or blamed. There may be a combination of single and couples visits. I think there should be a positive feeling for both people as they find ways to do what they can, rather than spending time diagnosing the people. Success has to do with both people working toward a better relationship, not just in terms of communication or giving what one wants in exchange.

What do you do if your husband refuses to go to marriage counseling?
Asked by Wiki User
In situations where a spouse or partner refuses to participate in counseling, it can be beneficial to still seek counseling for yourself. Although it is ideal to have both parties in the room, individual counseling can still be helpful when trying to clarify your concerns, identify emotions and gain insights or perspectives on how to communicate effectively, set boundaries, etc. You may find that as you progress and grow on your own in the relationship, your partner/spouse may become more interested in the process and willing to participate later down the road.

Can 31 year old marry a 21 year old?
Asked by Gavin1244
- By law yes, a 22 year old woman is no longer a minor (under 18) and can marry a man any age. However, this large gap from 22 to 71 is too much and the two would have nothing in common. Often people who see such an age gap especially when the woman in considerably younger than the man is considered a 'gold digger.'
Does health insurance cover marriage counseling?
Asked by Wiki User
No. Unless one of the people has a medical reason for needing counseling (such as depression) BCBS will not cover marriage counseling. The only way to get counseling together is if the person who has a medical reason asks that their significant other be present in the sessions for support.
Cpt code for marriage counseling?
Asked by Wiki User
90847, billed as family therapy only you would use the partner relational problem (V61.10) as your primary diagnosis. It won't get covered by insurance anywhere, so make sure it is TRUE marriage counseling and that the provider isn't actually doing family therapy for the patient's mental diagnosis.
My husband cheated on me again. What should I do?
Asked by Wiki User
- Once a spouse has cheated it is difficult for the other spouse to trust them again. Often some people who cheat will cheat again. Communication skills are important and you should feel free to ask him if he is cheating again. Most likely he will not tell you the truth, but this gives you the opportunity that you have learned from before the signs of cheating and if you catch him cheating again then it's the end of the marriage.

What can i do if my wife is the hottest woman on earth but she is not sexually interested in me?
Asked by Wiki User
Is she willing to go to counseling with you about this? Does she understand that this is an issue for both of you? The only way your relationship can survive is if both of you are willing to discuss your feelings, honestly and without accusations, and come to some compromise.
There are people who simply don't need, want or desire sex in a loving, long term relationship. They see sex as something expendable, separate from their feelings for their partner, and unnecessary to as a demonstration of love and affection. It is unfortunate, because for you sex is an extension of your love, while for her it may not be a necessary part of her love for you.
You are stuck though. If she can't, or most importantly won't and actually refuses to see your point of view or compromise in any way, you are going to be stuck in a sexless marriage where you compromise yourself right out of love and start longing for sexual attention elsewhere, or you can divorce. There's no easy solution.
Is marriage counseling the same as family therapy?
Asked by Demaine1979
marriage counseling is one type of family therapy, but there are other types of family therapy as well.
How do you cope with a separation and you are not divourced yet and he has found someone else and you want to do marriage counseling?
Asked by Wiki User
Marriage counseling only works if both parties want it to. If you are not both prepared to put serious effort forth towards reconciling, it won't work. You can pitch the idea of counseling to him, but if he says no, there isn't much more you can do. That he is already seeing someone else makes it likely that he has moved on, or is trying to do so, but it cannot hurt to ask him.
=============
He's gone, and counseling would be a waste. To take him back after he has moved out with another woman would irreparably damage your relationship, and put him in control for the rest of your life together.
Until and unless HE asks to come back, just move on. IF he asks, then it's time to consider counseling, but to chase him is to lose him for good.
Where does someone get online marriage counseling?

It's important to find a certified and trusted online marriage counselor, just as you would have done before face to face counseling. See the Sources and Related Links section for more information.
How is counseling a relationship?
Asked by Wiki User
Counseling helps you fix problems you have in your relationship and help you to have a stronger relationship with your significant other.
You get physically and emotiotionally sick from husbands loud tone of voice. been in thpy for 6 yrs and marriage counseling for 3 mnths. You are being medicated for dep. and anx. but not helps anymore?
Asked by Korindakay
If medication for depression and anxiety is not working, there is a possibility that there is another closely related mental health issue that needs treatment. Seeking your doctors opinion, and also seeking other doctor's opinions until you get the help you need is important. Mental Health support groups or helplines can also provide information or just someone to talk to when things seem too much. There are some milder forms of biploar that have very similar symptoms to depression, but need different therapy. This may or may not be true for you, but worth exploring.
If your wife attempts to downplay or disregard questions posed to her about the same things she questioned you about does that mean she is cheating?
Asked by Wiki User
I would say yes only based on personal things. My husband questioned me all the time. He even told everyone I was cheating. Well he left me after 11 years of marriage and two children for a friend of ours. Still to this day he denies that he was ever doing anything and I caused the whole thing by him not trusting me, But it could be her last relationship was very bad and her trust will take time...just be careful sit down and just ask....maybe you`ll get a good answer...
It depends, I suppose. Did you answer honestly and without hesitation when she originally asked you, and now she won't do the same in return? If so, that should arouse your suspicions. Just remember that suspicion is not enough; find out for sure.
I think women are obsessed with this topic. They spend an awful lot of hours questioning and accusing their man of cheating when in most cases he isn't doing a thing! But what does that do? It alienates him from you.
And women think they've got it all figured out based on "the answers you give." Trouble is, no matter what answer you give your wife/accuser, it always indicates that you're cheating. If you make fun of her question and laugh it off, it's supposedly a sign that you're cheating. If you get angry (and who wouldn't after a dozen times?), it's a sign that you're cheating. If you say nothing and walk away (who needs to hear this again?), it's a sign that you're cheating! Sheesh! If a man did that to you all the time you'd think he was a nutcase and you wouldn't want to be with a person like that. Then, after all this accusation, women wonder, "why is he distancing himself from me?" Because you're crazy that's why?! Listen to yourself!
I got this treatment myself a couple of years ago from my own wife, so I speak from experience. I did go out by myself from time to time--to the bookstore, the grocery store, a married MALE co-worker's house--but I was always where I said I would be--always just a cell phone call away--and I always truthfully told her where I would be before hand. But, the spying and questioning made me pull away from her--and because I viewed her as a different person, it made me think about going ahead and finding someone else. (Note that I said "think" about it. I never actually did it.) Afterall, if you're accused and convicted of a crime, you might as well commit the crime. Your accuser has already decided the case ahead of time.
Women: Get a life of your own. (That way you can share it with your spouse and you won't have time to accuse him of anything.)
Did any of this sink into those estrogen-tainted brains out there?
I have to agree with that guy right there ^^^^^^ He's absolutely 100% correct WOMEN get your own lives. And this COMING FROM A WOMAN. I am Sooooo sick of hearing "you women" this and "you women" that because yeah approximately 80% of "you women" treat your men like they are you're property and not allowed to do anything without you.
To these Ladies, Let me tell you a little something about the way you should treat your man and you will get responses you are presently only fantasizing about. ***First things first, back off a little bit, don't nag, preach, scream, fight and accuse him of things he's probably not doing. Because he wants time away from you doesn't mean it's with another woman. In spite of what you want to believe he met you cause he had a life, I'm sure he wasn't locked in his bedroom and you just happened to walk through the door. Let him continue to do the things he did before you and I guarantee you he'll come home without having slept with another woman. If he does sleep with another woman, then boot his ass out the door, if you don't you get what you deserve. ***Secondly, Treat him as though you want to be treated, hug him, love him, show him attention, listen to him when he's trying to tell you about his day, or what he did while he was out. **** Thirdly, keep yourself up, keep your appearances up, look like you did when he met you, You don't have to look "hot" 24 hours, but ya know if he's coming over or coming home, look nice, wear some perfume whatever it takes, catch his attention and I promise you it'll be worth all 5 minutes of freshening up. **** Last but not least, don't hold sex over his head like you're mom keeping candy from him for not doing his chores. Get your argument over with and get over it, sex isn't meant as a tool, it's a way for a man and a woman to show each other how much they love each other, granted us women want talking and cuddling for proof, but men need the sexual part of it as their way of connecting. Men are actually very simple creatures and women tend to treat them as though they are and should be more complicated than what they really are. Ladies GET THE HELL over it, they aren't your pets, they aren't your property and they aren't going to stick around if you treat them as such.
Do as that says and assuming you have a great guy as you must have thought he was or you wouldn't be with him anyway and I can almost guarantee you that you will get treated very well, like the queen he thinks you are or at least the queen you WERE when you hooked up.
I am a married woman of 8 years and even after 8 years I am as happily married as I was the day before I married him. Now and again he brings me flowers and gifts (which we can't really afford). He is always telling me how beautiful I am, looks at me all sultry when I walk out of the bathroom-naked. And guess what else, he used to go out ALOT when we were dating and first married, not anymore he LIKES to be home with me, he enjoys being with me and would prefer to be home with the kids and I as opposed to being with his friends all the time.
TRY IT LADIES !!!!!!!!!!!
