I really think marraige counseling is more about negotiating an amicable break up.

I would generally agree with your last statement, at least in my case. The marriage counselor told me that I should leave the marriage, given the, ah, volatile set of circumstances. And he was right.
However, marriage counseling can really teach you a lot about yourself. I learned why I chose this particular person — why I made a critical error in judgment when I married him and what I could do in the future so I wouldn't make the same mistake. It was an eye-opening experience.
