Before I go into the details here are the flat-out statistics as to whether or not marriage counseling works.
FACT: less than 10% of couples that go to marriage counseling report that marriage counseling has helped their marriage.
FACT: as much as 90% of couples that go to marriage counseling still end up getting divorced.
So statistically speaking the question 'does marriage counseling work?' comes back with a big fat NO.
What's important here though is not whether or not marriage counseling works but why is it that it doesn't work when it doesn't work. When it comes to marriage counseling being effective as a long-term solution to a failing marriage there are two main roadblocks:
The entire concept of marriage counseling is you and your spouse opening up the most intimate details of your marriage and your life to a complete stranger. This is a tall order for the most liberally minded self-aware couples.
A marriage is a giant jigsaw puzzle each piece being a day of the marriage. So if you have been married for 10 years that's 3650 pieces! a marriage counselor is a complete stranger to you and your spouse. To be able to possibly provide the marriage counselor with not only enough information about your marriage at the right information about your marriage to be able to make some sense of those 3650 pieces would take several lifetimes.
One type of marriage counseling that would work given these two limitations is self marriage counseling. The one small roadblock to that solution is the most couples don't have a degree in psychology or marriage counseling.
This is where Amy Waterman comes in. Amy Waterman is a relationship expert who's provided marriage counseling to hundreds of couples and is fully aware of these two main limitations which is why she has created her save my marriage home course.
