Marriage counselling is a tricky topic to bring up. Here are some tips on how you can gently broach the topic to your spouse:
Explain your motive for suggesting marriage counselling and how it can help to improve your relationship.
Be honest and do not get defensive.
Avoid blaming your spouse.
Emphasise that you are doing it because you love them.
Be careful not to trick your spouse into going for a marriage counselling session – it will only deepen their mistrust of you.
