Recently, my wife and I went to marriage counseling.

This was because we were fighting a lot over seemingly ridiculous things. I kept saying that we were spending too much money, and she was saying that I needed to get a better paying job. I didn’t know what she wanted from me, I could only do so much. She said she wanted to start working another job, but then I asked her who was going to take care of the youngsters. So we went to this marriage counseling place and I was pleased that the AC settings were just right. The air conditioning really helped to calm my nerves. Back at home we were not cranking the AC system at all because we needed to save money wherever we could manage. When speaking to the counselor, he asked what seemed to be an important question, “What do you fear?” I told him that I was afraid of a lot of things like not being able to provide for my family. I also said I didn’t want to have some disaster like having the heating system fail in the middle of the winter season. My wife said that she feared we wouldn’t be able to cover the bills and we might lose our house or something. I tried to say that wouldn’t happen, but the counselor told me not to interrupt. We took this time to really listen to what eachother had to say and it seemed we were making progress. We learned that we could compromise on a lot of things, and we did so. We were feeling so much happier together after so many sessions of marriage counseling and I don’t think we need the help anymore.
