Why Marriage Counseling Fails (and What to Do Instead)

Why does marriage counseling fail for so many couples? Some thrive. Others leave more frustrated than before. In this episode of The Revolutionary Marriage Podcast, Dr. Debi reveals the truth: couples who stay stuck are often more invested in being right than in working together. Add to that the fact that many therapists don’t know how to “level the playing field”—often siding with the aggressor—and it’s no wonder so many couples give up on counseling.

But here’s the hope: once you understand the crucial differences between men and women, everything changes. You’ll see your spouse in a whole new light—and start building the extraordinary marriage you truly want.
