Marriage Counseling? How to ask your spouse?

My husband and I recently separated …he said he is not in love with me anymore and doesn’t want to be married at all. I am in love with him we have two children one is only 5 weeks old! I have asked about marriage counseling when the problems first started and he said no but I feel like this is really my last chance …What should I do?

Ask him again! But in the meantime also ask him what he feels is wrong in your marriage. The idea that “love” or “not being in love” is the criteria that keeps a marriage going, is absurd. Getting along with each other has to do with talking things out. You are two different people, coming from two different worlds with different ideas of what brings about happiness.

If you can ask him about what bothers him and, at the same time explain what you want to get out of the marriage, you will have gone a long way towards saving your marriage.

Yes, I did plenty of marriage counseling in my life. But counseling is worthless unless both partners are willing. Check out my source.
