Pros:
very beneficial for when BOTH partners are working TOGETHER
Cons:
refer to above statement
when both partners work together in couples therapy, it works wonderfully well; however, when both are not equally perserverant, then all heck breaks loose and the benefits are lost...

Pros:
Opens your eyes
Cons:
When only one tries it fails
My ex-wife could not come to terms, and own up to her own faults , so she just centered on mine. I got tired of my problems being paraded in front of me and how they affected our relationship. When I tried to bring hers out I got pure denial. To this day she can't admit she has mental illness even when she is now being treated for it. Even though mine fell through I would still say try it.

Pros:
WHAT????????????......................
Cons:
Judgement Day was Swift and Deadly..............................
My husband and I went in for couples therapy one time, and boy, you'd have thought we were on the Titanic!!! It went from bad to worse in a split second.
I tried to be honest and all I got from that was a "death" sentence. We were having br problems, and I thought it might help us back to each other. Well, I can see where seeking professionals got me!!!! I will NEVER, NEVER do that again in my lifetime. Now that ws about 20 years ago????............now I just don't give a damn!!!! KANGAROO COURT IS NOT IN SESSION--------
