One of the easiest and most recommended avenues of seeking advice on how to fix a marriage is marriage counseling. Unfortunately, receiving marriage counseling from a trained and licensed marriage counselor can cost several hundred dollars per session and isn’t always affordable.

Thankfully, there are still many ways in which for couples can work on their marital problems on a budget. They just have to be willing to invest the time and effort required.

Churches

Many churches offer family and marriage classes, and the clergy are usually more than willing to offer spiritual and pragmatic advice –especially advice for newlyweds. Some of the larger congregations and parishes even have trained couples counselors whose fees are much more pocket friendly.

One perk of seeking counseling through your church is that you can be sure the clergy shares your beliefs about marriage and divorce. However, one down side is that most of these counselors are really busy and can only offer so many sessions per couple.

Colleges and Universities

Colleges and universities train therapists and those therapists need a certain number of clinical hours before they can be licensed. This is why many colleges allow their students to work with patients under the guidance and supervision of licensed counselors.

Taking advice on how to fix a marriage from a student may not sound ideal but some colleges have excellent reputations and highly regarded staff. You are also free to stop the session at any time if you feel uncomfortable.

Charities

There are some charities that offer low cost counseling services to low income families, as long as these families can provide proof of income. So spend some time researching whether there are any such charities near you.

Marriage Workshops and Retreats

There are many licensed counselors who offer marriage workshops and retreats, and the good news is that these workshops are often cheaper than getting individual counseling. The best thing about them is that you know beforehand what the topic is going to be and therefore, you can pick and choose those that apply to you and your marriage. You also have an opportunity to learn from other couples who are in similar situations.

There are many ways to seek counseling on how to fix a marriage without spending ridiculous amounts of money. You just have to be willing to put in the time and effort.
