marriage counseling?
How can I bring up the idea to my husband of me and him going to counseling? I have a lot of trust issues with my husband and everytime I try to talk to him at home about it, he gets real defensive and angry, so I want to try counseling, but I think he won’t want to go. Also, about how much does marriage counseling cost?

I am a counselor, so I can answer this question with accuracy. Marriage counseling might be covered by your health insurance, or it may not. You’d have to check with your insurance company. Most marriage counselors charge anywhere from $65-$120 per hour. You might find a marriage counselor with a sliding fee scale, which means that they charge less if you are experiencing financial hardship.
I think that you can bring up the idea of marriage counseling by talking calmly to your husband about how important your marriage is to you, and how much you want to save your marriage, and how much you think marriage counseling might improve your life together. Try to say it in positive terms…not accusatory terms.
I have lots of information on my website if you’d like to check it out. It is a website devoted to saving marriages. I also offer online counseling, but the online counseling is individual. I have a section on communication and a section on cheating. I’ll list it in the source section below.
I hope everything works out and good luck to you.

I dont know how much it costs it was free for me. Also, it did not work for us it was a waste of time. We do better working it out on our own. But, she did give us some good suggestions on working through our problems and made us realize that we had a pattern going on that was just escalading and getting worse so we had to change the way we did things and the way we asked each other questions. My advice trying looking at your situation from a different angle. I understand why he real defensive and angry,my husband did and still does the same thing to me and I get irate when he says it to me. How can the person I love and chose to spend the rest of my life with think all these horrible things about me? And if you really do think all of these things why are you still here.

He doesn’t have to go with you….go alone.
When one person changes in a relationship the other person has to change too.
