In the last few weeks I've heard two different people comment about couples in relationships who are undergoing couples therapy. In both cases, the people I was speaking to said, basically, "And you knooow what that means. If they have to be in therapy before marriage, obviously they're destined for disaster."
I personally have never thought this. I just assumed any kind of therapy for couples--whether before they're married, while they're engaged, or while they're married--is a positive thing. I was surprised to hear some people think it's a red flag.
What do others think?
NOTE: I'm specifically talking about couples who are the "marrying type," not those who plan to be in co-habiting/long-term relationships. Not because I'm against that at all! But because I'm someone who plans to get married so that's what I'm interested in learning about.
