I couldn't agree more. You may find a couple or two who seem to have the perfect marriage (they may) but the rest of the world's marriages have some serious problems once in a while and most of them get through the tough times with a bit of hard work and focus.
My wife and I have had some serious problems which were mostly related to my job but whenever she said we needed to talk to someone (she calls our counselor "the lady" and I call her something else because of the size of her chest) I was happy to go have a chat. There are manuals for almost everything in the world but none for knowing what it takes to make a relationship work and I always saw our counselor as the closest thing to a marriage manual. The best part about it was that we had lunch after the meeting -- without the kids -- and it felt as if we were dating again. Man, alone time with your wife is priceless.
I just wish I didn't love my job and could hack the "everyday" type of work where I'm home all the time because I would be able to go on dates with my wife more often.
