Marriage Counceling

[ArranP]

Hello,

Does any know or can help with finding a marriage counceling service to help Thai / Brit partners living in the U.K. and its society.

Without going into any details my wifes behavour is unacceptable sometimes.

I believe it would help if she/we had someone else to hear advice from rather than just myself. I think this third party would need to be a Thai living in UK to appreciate the cultural side of things.

Regards

Arran.

Two very good replies, thank you to both, I will order the books and read the english, pass the Thai one to my wife to read.

The nearest Thai Temple to me is The Buddhavihara Temple, Kings Bromley, there is an email address on the site, I will write them an email and see what they respond with.

Will you trust another Thai, especially a female to talk to your wife or can you understand Thai fluently ?

I suppose yes I would set out to trust Thai female marriage counciler, otherwise it would be counter productive to going along to see a marriage councelor.
