Money and kids are two critical areas that can make or break a marriage. Because of your *productive* communication (that is such a good sign,) you can hash it out until there's nothing left to hash.
Only -partially- productive, really. Despite the mediation, by the end of the morning counseling session, we were still both upset, angry, and worn, and nothing was really resolved. It was a quiet drive back to our respective work places afterwards.
However, the damage -could- have been much worse. As it was, by that evening we were both recovered (mostly) and ready to reconnect, reassure and sooth outselves, and get back into the game as a team.
