My boyfriend and I have been fighting recently but mostly over stupid stuff especially after the adjustment to college. During a fight he brought up couple’s counseling after I mentioned it months ago while I was in individual counseling. We continued to talk without really addressing but I would like to try. We are both in love and wanting to try and work this out (we have been trying for 2 months), and I really think we need a mediator and someone who can help us better understand each other and work with us so we can communicate better. Is couples counseling a good idea or any personal experience would be helpful, regardless of age, couples or marriage. Thanks!
p.s. what is the enviroment like in couples counesling as far as interrupting each other as that is a huge battle with us…getting the late and “right” word. also sex is ruining our relationship, i want to and he doesnt. christian or not christian counselor (we are) but i’m afraid of judgement.
ps we’ve been dating well over 1.5 years
Should we attend free couples counseling at our college? Both willing, and in love?

Usually counselors try to show you both better ways of communication with each other. They try to show you each others personalities and their needs and wants. If there is an issue that you both would like addressed, I’m sure you can bring it up. The counselor will ask you both your sides, and then they will proceed to explain to each of you the others side. A good counselor will not normally takes sides, but help show you the others side that way a compromise can be reached.
Do you want children someday ? If he already is “not wanting it, things usually don’t improve with marriage. It could get worse !
