Can’t Afford Marriage Counseling
As a marriage coach and counselor, I’ve heard it all. One problem I encounter more frequently than I’d like is this statement: “I can’t afford to pay out of pocket for marriage counseling services.” The truth is fairly simple. If you and your spouse are going through a rough patch that you can’t seem to smooth out, then you can’t afford not to hire me. The investment in marriage counseling is far cheaper in the long run. I mean, can you put a price to emotional trauma? Can you name a price for happiness? The cost of divorce or losing half of your assets, your home and business, are far more expensive.
Divorce, It Happens
There is 1 divorce every 36 seconds in the United States. That’s about 2,400 divorces per day, 16,800 divorces per week, and 67,200 divorces a month.
The best way to not end up a number in this statistic is to try and find solutions to your issues with your spouse. Driving away your spouse or refusing to do marriage counseling is not worth it.
Excuses are excuses. One of the singular most famous quotes in the last 50 years is “Do or do not, there is no try.” It just so happens to be from Star Wars. Despite its source (Yoda), there’s a lot of wisdom you can take from this.
Three of the most common reasons for a divorce are:
- Lack of intimacy
- Financial issues
- Communication
All of these areas can be resolved with marriage counseling and therefore it is important to book an appointment with The Marriage Healer today, instead of resorting to divorce. Divorce should always be the very last resort (and it costs more).
Money should not be an issue. About 20% of women fall into poverty as a result of divorce. Not to mention that if divorce does not follow, an unhappy marriage means you are more likely to encounter emotional health issues that could cost you big at the doctor’s office as well as issues in the workplace, decreasing productivity, and thus a decrease in revenue going into your bank account.
Happiness should not cost you money and there’s nothing better than saving your marriage with the one you said “I do” to. You cannot put a price on such an achievement.
