IN MY LIFE
This morning I stopped to make time for marriage counseling. One of the questions they ask on the intake form is, “How long do you feel counseling is necessary?” I think my answer was something like, “As long as it takes”.
While I’m a big believer in not overly-lamenting or defining yourself by your sorrows and failures, it’s also hard to put a time limit on either recovery or maintenance when it comes to relationships. What we stressed with our counselor today is that while we are committed to our relationship, we want to be more than that; in essence, we want our marriage to be more than transactional.
If I could say anything to you today, it’s that counseling isn’t just for the broken; it’s also for those of us who want to be better…better spouses, better parents, better friends and better citizens. If you haven’t explored counseling, but have considered it, I hope you’ll move past the stigma and take that next step today.
