Relationship Skills are Effective, Even if Only One Person Uses Them (at first).
You may be very motivated to see a marriage counselor, but find your husband or wife is very resistant. There are a lot of reasons people refuse to go to therapy, including fear of not being in control, reluctance to admit they need help, or simply fear of being vulnerable.
Unfortunately, you can’t make your partner go to couples counseling, no matter how much it might help your relationship. You can make yourself a better partner by learning new ways to communicate, interact with and respond to your partner. Often, when one partner begins to make healthy changes, their partner responds with their own positive changes.
Better relationship skills make a better relationship, even if you are the only one using them (at first).
