We actually have an appointment with a professional marriage counselor this coming Monday. We were seeing a couples counseling through our church (a couple that survived a similar situation), but they suggested we needed a professional. She said she was willing to go, and they made a recommendation. It's covered by our insurance. But her mood/attitude changes daily, so I'm hoping that she is still willing to go. She was a bit skeptical when she learned that the counselor is a man and does not have a female partner, but I let her know that he did say he has woman counselors that he can recommend to her and work with them. Before we started our counseling together, she had started seeing an individual counselor on her own that she said she felt comfortable with. I encouraged that was what she needed. I'm hoping she'll stick with at least trying this counselor together.
As for me personally, I do have a strong network of Christian brothers that give me solid counsel. I feel okay with things right now and am working on my relationship with God.
