Is this counselor's idea a good one?

[cw68]

My H went to his second individual counseling session today. The C said that we have to improve our communication regardless of where our relationship goes and suggested that we try MC again. H told her our attempt at MC was horrible and that it actually drove us apart instead of bringing us together. She suggested that we try MC again, but with a focus on learning to communicate better. That it was totally OK if I go in with the idea that this will help get us back together and he goes in with the idea that it will help us split more amicably.

I don't know how I feel about this. Anyone care to chime in?
