Vincent and Valerie will talk about couples therapy and why they believe it’s necessary. They also want to talk about the fact that most women think that marriage counseling is necessary and some things they want to talk about in the conversation.

Vince and I didn’t always agree to go to marriage counseling because he didn’t believe that we needed couples therapy, but we came to an agreement with the help of the lord, and it was one of the best things we’ve ever done.

You have to open your mind up men do whatever it takes to make your marriage work. You cannot put things like I don’t want to do this and I’m a man, so don’t ask me anymore.

You know your marriage is about to fall apart, and you need help, but you don’t want to help how it comes.

Because things had gotten so bad, Vince had to learn how to deal with his emotions. He told her he was a good man, but she still didn’t deserve to be yelled at. My husband is a really good guy, and many people say he is a big teddy bear, but he is also kind, friendly, helpful, and all that is true.

There was this two percent where he just was unkind, and when life pressed down on him, that was worse. It was all those life’s frustrations that I kept bottled up, and when things came up that I didn’t like, I didn’t know how to express my emotions, and so I just blah, and my wife received so much of that, and I’m just so remorseful.

Our marriage wasn’t bad the whole time, but we argued and went to separate corners because my wife wanted to talk. I should not have shut her out so much in my life. I can’t get back the time I spent without marriage, so I urge you to recognize that you cannot return that time. I love my wife, but there were times when I was quiet, shutting up, bothering my feelings, not giving her emotion, not giving her attention, and that was not like I said; it was 98 of the time.

We both had to come to the realization that our relationship was dysfunctional, and unkind and never got resolved. I tried to change my behavior, but it did not work. You’re changing me, the guy I know and love, and I’m not going to keep dealing with this either. We’re either going to get it together and move forward, or I’m going to jump.

We talked and worked it out, but we still had to see each other and interact with one another for the children’s sake. So marriage counseling came into play, and it was a blessing in disguise because I didn’t want to go to marriage counseling.

The marriage counselor we visited told me it was her fault. I was just like, oh, maybe that might not be right because I didn’t want to be right. I wanted US to get it right.
