Should we attend the “The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work” Seminar or start counseling?

The seminar can give you a great overview of the “Principles” which couples learn during sessions. The difference lies on the context, the seminar is a psychoeducation class and not therapy.

Talk to your spouse, if you are not ready for weekly sessions, attending the seminar is a no pressure choice because you won’t be sharing private information, simply learning and practicing some skills.  Once you learn the concepts you may feel more confident in attending counseling or using the tools from the class.
