Why doesn’t marriage counseling work?  Because most couples go for marriage counseling when it’s too late to save their marriages.  Most marriage counselors are the kiss of death for a  marriage.

The  reason  that  marriage counseling doesn’t work is because couples therapy is the hardest form of therapy, and most therapists aren’t trained to do it.  Surveys indicate that about 80% of unqualified therapists do couples therapy.

According to The New York Times (2011), two years after ending marital counseling 25% of couples are worse off than they were when they started, and after four years 38% are divorced.
