This is the guy I personally have been seeing since I was 16, my wife and I did our premarital counseling with, and continue to do our monthly check ups with.

Great guy. Incredible credentials.

He is licensed for a bunch of different types of counseling and one of them is marriage and family counseling.

We only go in the evenings so that won't be a problem.

I'll ask and see if the guy I know has evening hours. I think that he does.

I'm of no help to this thread, but have a question ....

So before you got married, and every month you go see a marriage counselor? I love my wife, but if we needed counseling BEFORE we got married, I would have thought twice about marrying her

It's pre-marital counseling. Not beause you have problems, but to make sure you're ready to get married and understand what it's all about. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I personally was seeing a counselor dealing with my childhood and other B.S. from 16 to 19. My wife and I went back to this same counselor before we got married for about 15 premarital counseling sessions because I have seen what happens when people who THINK they know each other and how the other person feels about serious issues before they get married have the almighty smack of reality upside their heads when they realize they didn't actually know much of anything.

As was mentioned:

My wife and I have been going once a month since our daughter was born to help with her postpartum depression linked to pregnancy (which about 80% of women go through in varying degrees) as well as looking for an unbiased voice in helping us adjust to the new addition as well as how it has and will continue to completely change our lives together.

It's not about how many problems we have, it is about addressing things before they become problems. It is much easier to do it that way, than it is to watch things build up over years and years and see them begin to fall apart in front of your eyes.

Just my $20 and .02 cents.

To the OP, I hope everything works out for you, and I apologize for the thread jacking.

No worries, I like to hear other peoples take on it. Looks like its to late for my marriage but I think I'll still go so I can fix my problems, 80% of why why my marriage failed was cause of me.

It's only too late if you quit trying.

I have to say, t's mighty big of you to own up like that to the 80%.
But its my experience that unless there are addiction problems (Makes it 100-0), then its a 50/50 deal... we all have our moments of fault, Love is seeing that in your partner, accepting it and understanding, communicating that in a compassionate and understanding manner that will allow the both of you to learn and grow from it.

I Pray for you and the Mrs... I really do. Both of you will suffer from the divorce. The real victim, no matter how hard you try to shelter her from it will be your daughter. Keep up the the good fight.
