Jiji: I have tried counseling before. The problem is the unknown factor: the counselor. The last one we had concluded that we had a lot on our plate and that we were a fine couple and that I just needed to be more patient. She did not go deeply into our problems...it became more of a chat session about what we did that week. I don't know that I'm willing to put out the bucks for, essentially, yet another reason to be "patient" with her. As for her not taking kindly to certain parts of the book, I guess that's up to her...maybe it will at least stimulate conversation about the subject.
