Today, after a nasty fight with my military husband, which resulted in mandatory marriage counseling, he told me we needed to talk about the fight. Not talk it over and apologize; talk it over so our stories are consistent when we see the therapist. FML

Good start
Today, my husband and I went to our first counseling sessions, where the main focus was communication. When the therapist called us in together to discuss techniques we could use at home, my husband looked around, rolled his eyes, and responded with, "Uh huh" to every question. FML

Fixed it
Today, my fiance finally began seeing a therapist, after months of my begging him to. The therapist convinced him that he and I had "irreconcilable differences" so now he's asked for the ring back. FML

Mask off
Today, we went to couples' counselling. After a while the therapist said to me, “Madam, since we've started, your husband has managed two full sentences without you interrupting him, and most of what you said was, frankly, childish whining.” I'm starting to realise I might be the problem. FML

Today, my husband and I went to marriage counselling. I confessed something that was bothering me, but he didn't understand. Our counselor repeated word-for-word what I said right back at him. He turned to me angrily and shouted, "Why couldn't you just say that the first time?!" FML

Today, I mentioned to my wife that we should try marriage counseling. She responded by denying it while throwing a carton of milk at me. FML

Hopefully agreeing on that now will mean you disagree on a divorce later.

You've gotta think positive! At least you've both agreed to work on your marriage, and obviously you both want to stay together, hence why you've sought counselling. Good luck!

That's not that bad. Be thankful that he's going and making the effort to improve and fix your relationship because not every guy is willing to do that.

Step one to working it out. Save your marriage! It's the most important thing.

If you look in the Yellow Pages, "Marriage Counselors" is immediately followed by "Martial Arts Schools".

Well at least it wasn't divorce you agreed on. At least he still wants the relationship to work out.
