I have a marriage and a family because of Scientology marriage counseling. I nearly lost these two important parts of my life and would never have been able to understand what really caused their breakdown and very near non-existence.
Martin, my husband, and I had a crisis in our relationship and no knowledge or tools to fix it. We had watched too may couples around us do counseling and still split or plod along trying to make it work for the sake of children etc.
Our reasons for ’splitting up’ were strong enough to be supported by those around us and we needed help fast to salvage what was left. As it was me that had introduced our crisis martin said he would leave it to me to decide what sort of counseling we would get. He did suggest a priest, as I was a catholic, however I did not feel comfortable with this.
Martin had been involved in Scientology for almost two years at this point. I was not against this however and was also not supportive of it either. I had to ask myself how important my marriage was and what I was prepared to do to save it. I knew Scientology offered marriage counseling and had seen and felt a huge change in martin over the last two years for the better. I decided, ’what the hell, things could not get much worse than they are at this point’. I made the decision to go into the church but let martin organize it all. At the time of going in for our counseling I must say I was experiencing a great deal of emotional pain. I had only been through this level of grief before when my youngest sister committed suicide and I was feeling the same sense of uselessness and loss. I was also feeling physically ill. Two hours after the counseling began martin and I walked out of the building smiling and holding hands. I hadn’t smiled at him, into his eyes, for years.
We had confronted our problems, put them on the table so to speak, and there was no way to hide anything. That night we both took responsibility for our relationship and knew then and there that we would not just be ok and make it, but that we could be better that ever. I know deeply that no other counseling would have saved our marriage. Scientology marriage counseling made us look at and see where our problems came from and more importantly what to do about it. The first two hours of our counseling was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I did it and I’m proud of my achievement. It was huge! Part of our counseling was to go on and do,’ how to improve your marriage course ’. We have the skills now to build a fantastic relationship. We learned to communicate honestly and easily. Martin and I have a better relationship that ever before and we’ve been together 19 years. Since then we’ve had our fourth child and can honestly say our future is strong and safe. If you use the technology learned in Scientology you can get the desired result.
