Any data on how successful it is?

The author admits bias against men while subtly blaming men. How about as professionals they deal with clients with different outlooks without favour.

“of couples who try marriage counseling, 90% feel that their emotional health improves, and two-thirds report improvements in their physical health.”

But did it save the marriage?
