This short article is an introduction to where you might be able to obtain free marriage counseling. Of course, if money is no object, you can and should be looking for the best marriage counselor you can find. Trust me when I say a divorce, especially one where minor children are involved, is worth saving if at all possible. But getting back to free marriage counseling: the cost of marriage counseling – especially for a couple that is fighting about money – can be prohibitive. But that doesn’t mean there’s no help available. There is help out there and this is where to look.
Were you married in a religious ceremony? United Church? Roman Catholic? Presbyterian? Jewish? Muslim? Religious organizations deliver thousands upon thousands of hours of free (or pay what you can) marriage counseling every year.
For Roman Catholics, obtaining marriage counseling is as easy as contacting your local Catholic Family Service. You can contact them through your local parish office or you can phone them directly. This organization has hundreds of offices and thousands of well trained counselors across the continent. If your Catholic marriage needs help, don’t wait.
For Jewish couples, or couples in which one of the partners is Jewish, talk to your rabbi about marriage counseling through Jewish Family Services. These organizations are less centralized than there Catholic counterpart, but then again Catholicism is kind of anal about centralization, isn’t it? Jewish Family Services groups tend to offer counseling on a wide variety of topics.
Muslim Family Services is a division of ICNA Relief USA, the social welfare department of Islamic Circle of North America. Marriage and pre-marriage counseling services are offered to people of all faiths.
Other faiths all have there own marriage counseling services, though most are not as organized as Catholic Family Service, Jewish Family Services or Muslim Family Services.
For non-religious couples, governments also have a vested interest in stable families, or at least a vested interest in avoiding unstable families. However, social services varying wildly by jurisdiction. Obtaining free marriage counseling may be as close as the phone. Call your local department of family or social services and ask what help they might have for you. And good luck.
