whats invoved in marrige councelling

I am sure every councilor is different in their practice. For me a lot of talking , crying , even some yelling. It does help since he is there not only as a moderator to make sure things do not escalate in a harmful negative way but also as a third party looking in on the situation. Sometimes we can not see the truth through things like anger , resentment , spite etc. My therapist has lots of exercises in trust building , communication etc.
