Marriage Coaching vs. Marriage Counseling: The Hidden Difference

• Should you invest in marriage coaching or marriage counseling?
• What's the difference?

From a practical point of view, marriage coaching could be your best bet for reviving your marriage. I keep hearing that "coaches don't teach." Instead they "ask questions" and "listen for patterns." That doesn't sound like "coaching" to me. It sounds like counseling.

Most counselors assume you already know the answers and just need to talk and/or complain and lose long enough that you start to figure it out on your own.

But you already talk and/or complain and lose ... without paying a counselor, and it doesn't work.

• What difference does a paid observer make?
• What if your son's football coach took that approach?

What if the problem is that you really don't know what works, what doesn't, and why in your marriage? And that's the reason you're still talking and/or complaining about your marriage and losing all the time.

What do you need for greater marital satisfaction?

If you wanted help with your marriage, wouldn't you want someone who knows how relationships work and is willing to teach you what she has learned through years of study, training, and experience?
