Couples counseling CAN save your a "lousy" marriage AND enhance a decent one. As a matter of fact, I think every relationship could use some education, a relationship map, and a set of tools.

Further, sessions with a couples counseling are obviously not like a day at the beach. However, counseling can utilize playfulness and humor for therapeutic purposes! To borrow a famous quote, " Marriage can be a tragedy to those who feel, but comedy to those who think!"

The most important tool a couples counselor can use to help couples gain insight and perspective is humor. Humor softens tension between two partners. Humor invokes a more gentle and playful mood for a couple, it really brings out the natural "we." Humor enables clients to shift from the "reactor" to the "observer" in their drama and thus is a very powerful mindfulness tool.
