"Hi, I'm Donna Barnes, a life and relationship coach, and the owner of NY Dating Coach in New York City. In this clip we'll talk about marriage counseling, and there doesn't have to be a negative connotation on that, is the biggest thing to know about marriage counseling, because you know what people say. Oh you know, if you're in counseling, you're in crisis. But, even if you're starting to have any kind of a problem that you feel you can't deal with yourself... if you're really disagreeing on something perpetually, go see a marriage counselor, because it can really enrich and deepen your relationship. If you really open your mind to it, and go to a independent third party that can really mediate your position, you can really openly tell your sides to each one, and they'll really get you to be able to talk to each other, especially if you have a hard time communicating your feelings. A good marriage counselor can really help you open up to each other, and give you a safe place to identify what it is that you're feeling, and really tell your partner things that have been bothering you, and things that you'd like to see improved, and it really can help a relationship a lot, and it's nothing to be scared of or ashamed of. It's really very beneficial for a relationship. This is Donna Barnes, from New York City."
