• Marriage counseling can be a valuable tool for
  couples who are struggling.
• However, it's important to know how to get the
  most out of your sessions.
• This presentation will discuss 5 strategies for
  maximizing the benefits of marriage counseling.

3
Establish goals early on

• What do you want to achieve from marriage
  counseling?
• Be specific and measurable.
• For example, you might want to improve your
  communication, reduce conflict, or increase
  intimacy.

4
Be prepared for tough choices and compromises.

• Marriage counseling often requires couples to
  make difficult decisions.
• Be willing to compromise and work together to
  find solutions that work for both of you.

5
Be open and honest with your counselor.

• The counselor can't help you if you don't share
  your thoughts and feelings.
• Be willing to be vulnerable and share your
  deepest concerns.

6
Do your homework.

• Marriage counseling is not a magic bullet.
• You'll need to put in the work outside of
  sessions to make progress.
• This might include reading books, doing
  exercises, or practicing new communication
  techniques.

7
Don't give up.

• Marriage counseling takes time and effort.
• There will be setbacks along the way.
• But if you're willing to stick with it, you can
  make real progress.
