You don't both have to be ready at the same time. Working with a therapist on your own can be the start of changing the conversation at home.
When marriage counselling helps
Most marriages don't fail in one big moment; they fade in a thousand small ones. Counselling helps you slow that down — notice the patterns, name what's missing, and try things differently while the relationship is still recoverable.
What to expect
Sessions usually start with each of you saying what's bringing you in. The therapist isn't there to pick a side; they're there to make the conversation possible. Some weeks are calm and reflective; some are harder. Both are part of it.
