I think counseling can work for some couples if they still love each other and they BOTH want to make it work. But, you can't be counseled into loving someone. If one person doesn't want to make it work then counseling isn't going to make a difference.


Maybe if you would have gone to counseling

Thank you to everyone for posting. It is nice to know that I am not the only one who was not interested in counseling.

Marriage counseling can work if both partners are interested in the marriage working.
