Relationship counseling is not only used by couples contemplating a divorce.  You should not be afraid of getting outside help. There are some who take such advice very much at the beginning of their relationship when their first difficulties present themselves.  They no doubt feel it is better to get help earlier so that what may only be small difficulties do not become more important issues later on, and early help can save a relationship.

In this day and age, counseling has shown itself to be a completely respectable choice.   Fifty years ago, for example, it may have been frowned upon as not being something that was done, but times have changed.  Many marriages that have gone for say thirty years or more only to end in divorce, could probably have been saved had a little professional outside help been sought.

If you think relationship counseling is for you, you must both go for it in a frame of mind void of recrimination.  Don't be accusing with your partner, when you talk of the difficulties you are both encountering, or they are never likely to accept to take such help. Perhaps you can convince them by saying that you particularly want the counseling yourself if for no other reason.

Get your partner to agree to relationship counseling as there are some things you both need to think about and improve, and they will be more positive towards such an approach.  Even if you consider that the problems come from your partner, there is no need to tell them so.  It is better to say you want assistance in how to become a better partner and mutually improve your relationship.  When you get into the counseling you will both learn  the little things and methods that can help both get on better with each other.

Regardless of how long you have been together, relationship counseling is always an option that is open for you.  It is never too late or too early to get outside advice that will add more to your relationship and make you a better partner.   You don't necessarily take counseling because you are thinking of splitting up or your relationship is in a bad way; far from it.   Settling your problems by counseling or other methods, can only make your relationship more solid in the long term.

Should your partner consider your suggestion of outside help means that you see problems ahead or you consider your affair will not work out, explain to them that this is just not the case. You are trying to improve your relationship and please your partner, even when some things may need to be modified.

If your partner does not want to take such advice you should take it on your own¸ although it would clearly better if you went together.   Set about bettering yourself.  When your partner sees how you doing on your own, they may well decide to try it themselves
