There is a thing called "Engaged Encounter", generally associated with the Catholic Church, but really open to everyone and is really non denominational. It is an entire weekend and covers a lot of the difficulties that a couple face before, and after marriage. It is all about trust, dependence and independence. It is an intense experience.

I used to give these weekends, and success was not measured just in couples that solidified their committment to each other, but in the number who decided to either wait or move on. In each case, a potential disaster was averted which was also a success.

It is affiliated with "Marriage Encounter", so I would advise getting info on it as a possible alternative to the individual counselor. And, if you do choose the counselor route, try to find a couple that work together. At least there will be no gender bias that way.

The best of luck.

Lack of trust by one is death to a relationship.
