As a family psychologist, I know a loving relationship between two people is a terrible thing to lose. If a financial investment goes sour, it's possible to get some of your money back. However, once love is invested in a relationship, it can never be retrieved. Relationships are perishable and require regular care for you to not lose your love investment.
Although some experts like John Gottman, PhD assert that they are able to identify predictor traits for a divorce in a relationship, I have come to see that in actual life, it is always up to the couple themselves. Nothing can override the efforts of a couple who works together to use the proven skills of managing communications and relationship dynamics.
I have seen people hang onto relationships that looked miserable to me. On the other side of things, I have worked with couples who had great things going in their marriage, yet they amicably shook hands and agreed to call it quits. What a couple does with their relationship, between consenting adults, is their business and up to them.

When I learned to sail, the instructors would tell us the time to shorten sail so the stronger winds did not cause damage was when you first think of it.
I think the same rule or guideline applies to seeking counseling for marriage.
Look for a "marriage counselor near me" on your phone or computer and select a couple of names.
Give each one a call, talk with them about your relationship and see how that feels.
You will know if it seems right to take the next step.
I also recommend discussing the possibility of marriage therapy with your partner before you go.
