Are you and your partner a mixed agenda couple? This is where one of you is leaning towards staying in the marriage and the other one is leaning towards ending the marriage. Or where one of you wants to try marriage counseling and the other one doesn’t, and/or you’ve already tried that before and you feel it didn’t help. Discernment Counseling is a brief, solution focused approach that is anywhere from 1-5 sessions that are 2 hours long each, for the purpose of gaining clarity and understanding of what lead to the problems in the marriage that got you where you are today, as well as whether or not you are each able to do what’s required to work on the marriage or not. The goal is to gain clarity and confidence over the direction of the marriage.
This process helps you identify what each of you needs to work on if you decide your’e going to attempt to stay in the marriage.
