couples counselling
I dont really understand people who are dating and go for counselling when they are not married, dont have kids, etc....
I thought the purpose of dating was to see if you are compatible and if you are not, you move on and find someone you ARE compatible with.
I write this because I watched some Jerseylicious over the weekend ( a guilty pleasure)
Re: couples counselling
I saw the episode and I feel if you are in a relationship and considering marriage/long term commitment with one another, couples counseling is a great idea. It doesn't just focus on your relationship together, but also can allow you to learn more about yourself. I think of it as a proactive measure. I think Gigi and what's his name are making a good decision by going to counseling. No, if you just met someone and are in date number 3, I don't feel couples counseling is necessary, but Gigi has been in her on/off again long-term relationship is a great idea. I guess Tracey hasn't been dating that guy for long, but far be it from me to say where they are in their relationship (or anyone who has been dating for 6 months, or however long it is that they've been together). If they are serious about wanting to stay together and are talking about marriage, I say couple's counseling doesn't set them back/isn't a negative thing. Couples counseling isn't saying anything bad is going on, but allowing them to set aside dedicated time to discuss important topics in their relationship. Can some people do that without going to a therapist and shelling out money to do so? Absolutely.
Good ol Jerseylicious...such a drama filled reality show
I think there are so many fake/staged parts, yet, what do I do? DVR that damn show! lol.
I half agree.
Counselling when dating to fix problems seems weird to me. I feel like if you are in that much trouble already then it's probably just not mean't to be.
Premarriage counselling, not to fix problems but to bring up any topics that you might not have discussed (money/chores/family/kids/how to fight) I think is great and very helpful. Mind you most of the topics you've probably talked about before, when we went our biggest one that we really hadn't talked about is "how to fight" and it was mind opening.
Good point! Yes, if you're dating and in counseling to resolve big problems/conflicts that aren't working out and there are no kids involved...then ya, maybe just split and call it finished.
