Relationship Counselling is Not Evidence of a Failing Relationship.
Most people take relationship counselling to be a bad omen for a couple, especially in an unmarried relationship.

It feels like an admission of defeat, like if you can’t solve this; then the relationship might as well be over anyway. If you’ve got relationship problems that you are struggling to solve, challenging your views on the nature of relationship counselling, and what it says about your relationship can prove central to strengthening your relationship.
