Yes, the last paragraph gets too enthusiastic. It becomes pursuing. It would be better to say something along the lines of "I'm open to the idea of marriage counseling. I think we could improve our relationship if we worked together at it." That says that you are willing if he is willing, but you are not chasing him into it.
Another avenue you should look at is a Retrouvaille weekend. There is a lot of information on their website, http://www.helpourmarriage.org. They teach a method of healing a marriage through effective communication. It is all done by the couples themselves without a counselor. It is amazing the progress that can be made in only 2 days at one of their weekends. That is reinforced by 6 post sessions, often on Sunday afternooons. Of course, you can supplement it with counseling. Retrouvaille turned my marriage around. It is now 1 1/2 years later and we no longer have arguments. It is amazing how easy it is to get along when you have a method for dealing with problems.
