Lots of therapists think marital therapy is the hardest thing we do. I believe it helps in many cases, if only to clarify client intent. I also think the bravest and best clients we see are trying to save their marriage.
If you've ever been to some kind of couple's therapy or marital therapy: did the therapy make your relationship

Intent is everything: 1. Both want to save the marriage. 2. One wants to save it, the other knows its over. 3. We both want out and have to tick this box.

Depends on 1) skillset of therapist (too many spineless, floundering amateurs), 2) the couple's motivation and timing (some are too far gone or want out), 3) ability of therapist to align with the couple, not one individual (amateurs pick sides and cast judgment).

Worse! Our therapist “quit” on us because I waited u til the appointment to tell my (ex)wife something she did which bothered me. She also said masturbating was infidelity !

Therapy: When you vs your wife isn’t already slanted enough in her (mostly insane and irrational) favor

Even I was offended at how much the therapist took my side - my wife felt defeated and small after two sessions and we ended it. We worked it out on our own, it was very messy and imperfect but our committment to each other won.

How many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Only one but the bulb has to want to change
