Just a hypothetical question: If your marriage ...

Just a hypothetical question: If your marriage were on the rocks, would you ever consider online marriage counseling? It's just that I've always felt counseling should be done face-to-face.

When God speaks, listen to his revelation

No i would not try any online counseling service as there may be a flake giving you the advice.

Equal justice for All The law works but the system needs changed, We all abide by the law but sometime it failes us. The same with the goverment. God bless the USA, Brign our troops HOME safely, To the men who did not get the credit they deserve, MAY GOD WATCH OVER OUR SERVICE MEN.

I guess it's okay as long as you are making a move to save your marriage.

While the internet is a great place to research information and gather facts, I don't think online counseling would be as effective as face to face counseling. There is more to counseling than just knowing information that can be typed about a couple.

Counseling involves more than just knowing facts, it involves observing the couples attitudes, their actions and reactions, even their physical atributes as well as their voice tones. It is not only how the couple answerrs questions, but the way they answer questions.

Also, a counselor can sometimes need to be a referee so to speak. If tempers flare or if the subject gets off course, the counselor steers it back on track. I don't think online counseling would would be as successful and I think any couple who uses online counseling are just short changing themselves as to the quality of counseling they recieve. 

Quote #1. Just remember, if the grass always seems greener on the other side...it's probably because there is more manure there. Quote #2. So often times it happens, that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key. Quote #3. Just remember this my firends, when you look up in the sky, you can see the stars and still not see the light.

It's okay as long as both of you agree on that decision. It doesn't matter where you seek help as long as both of you are willing to save your marriage.

I strongly believe that counseling should be done face to face. I've tried online counseling twice and it wasn't good. Comparing this with my experience of face-to-face counseling, I've decided not to go for online counseling again!

Counseling depends on your need and its not a mandatory for everyone.
