This is a good question you need to ask yourself. Let’s think about this now.
How much have you invested in your relationship? Perhaps you have years together with all the ups and downs a real history of companionship brings. Through the highs and lows of togetherness, you got through it.
You may have children together, who you have watched being born – happy days. With whom you witnessed growing up and how tough that can be at times.
Perhaps your family is a blended family and you already know the stress and suffering separation and divorce takes on your children’s lives. The upheaval and challenge of co-parenting are not easy.
Maybe this is just your latest relationship, where in the past it hasn’t worked out and you are sick of the merry go round pattern. Where you go for few years with a person and it’s great and then it suddenly seems to go kaput. And weh it all seems to go awry and it’s like you don’t even know your partner. Sorry to say they really haven’t changed it’s the love drugs have worn off and you are seeing them for all they are flaws and all.
So is relationship counselling worth it? Should you work on your marriage? Why bother you may say after slogging away for so many years it seems hopeless.
So here’s the deal:
- If you work on your relationship and it cannot be saved, you have lost nothing.
- If you work on your relationship and save it, you have gained your relationship.
- If you do not work on your relationship, you have lost the relationship.
From this logic it is perfectly reasonable to work on your partnership. You have nothing to lose and every thing to gain!

I love how you approach relationship counseling as “an investment” – putting time, energy, and money into a commitment before determining what the final outcome is. If it’s going to have a fair chance, you definitely have to go all in!
Thanks Tina,
yes you definitely have to go all in for a fair chance! Thanks for your comments.
Cheers Philipa
Considering the options, counseling makes so much sense. You’re right. What’s to lose? Getting through the tough times can bring you to so much more in the long run. Well worth the effort!
I agree with you…before giving up on any relationship we really do need to know that we gave it all. We spend money everyday on less important matters.
Thanks Nicole,
it is an opportunity and yes better to have a buy a coffee and have your mate share it with you than a divorce. Costly business.
