Summary

When trust is broken, it can feel like everything in the marriage has been shaken, but healing is still possible. Listener question: What do you do if your spouse doesn't want counseling? My husband talks to me harshly sometimes and I feel I need to walk on eggshells. My 2 year old pics up on it and even told his dad to get out of the room this morning. I bring up counseling and he says no. I tell him I don't want to be talked to like this but I don't see a path forward. Looking back, I can see the red flags in our dating life. But I made the choice to marry him and I do love and care about him.
