I once saw the marriage advice that everybody, no matter how great their relationship is, should meet with a marriage/relationship counsellor on a regular basis, because, that way, any issues the two of you may have gets dealt with while its still a small thing and is never given a chance to turn into a big deal. Doing it with a counsellor means you have a safe space with someone who knows how to deal with issue during which you can work out problems, before they turn into real problems.
I'm not married, so I dunno if it works, but it sure sounds like sensible advice at least.

If you can't afford to do it then you can't afford to do it, although I wonder, given the high rate of divorce, if a session every so often wouldn't still be cheaper in the long run even for people who maybe can't afford to do it every other month. > It's like doing regular maintenance: you might be able to do it yourself, but bringing in a professional is a good idea. That's a great way of putting it.
