Hi SkyWalker92, seeking good couples counseling is important and commendable. You might find the book “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work” by John Gottman insightful—it’s written by a leading relationship researcher and offers great strategies that even counselors often use. Also, the Gottman Institute’s website lists certified therapists and may help you find experienced professionals in San Diego within different budget ranges.
