Any marriage counselors for Indian couples?
Has anyone sought external to reduce stress in marriage? How was your experience?
Parents?
There is a couples communication six week class by Kaiser and the material they gave was really good. It's a group class with other couples

There are marriage counselors specializing in Indian couples? Wow 😂
Why not ? Won’t you prefer someone who’s familiar with the cultural nuances to have more understanding of the issues ?
Sure, but you’ve never heard of marriage counselors specializing on Russian, Indonesian, or American couples have you? It just sounds really weird to be specific on some ethnicity. Do Indians have special cultural nuances that require specialized marriage counselors but Russians, Indonesians, or Americans don’t have?
Get out soon if it is not working out. It is harder to move on with time. You will get bitter. Arranged marriages are hot and a miss. When it is a miss you should recognize soon and run. That's best for both of you
Counseling doesn't work unless both parties are willing to work. I am 100% sure most of Indian couples never have any real intention to sort issues rather than just "showing" off to their friend and families that they are going for counseling.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us This is a great tool. Hang in there my friend. *edit* I forgot to mention yes it is definitely helpful. But your experience may vary greatly depending on the counselor. Also, before you schedule an appointment make sure your spouse is on board first. I recommend you to do a consultation by yourself with different counselor first, find the right one you are most comfortable with then proceed with more sessions.
Thanks. Spouse not interested but dont mind accompanying me (convinced after a lot of drama)
Like I expected. That’s ok, its perfectly normal. In this case I definitely recommend you to start by doing consultation with different counselors first and find the best one. Do this by yourself first. Once you find a good one, do a few sessions with him/her before bringing your spouse.
