Keyshia Cole Says Marriage Counseling Works
R&B singer Keyshia Cole, says marriage counseling works.
According to Eurweb.com, Cole’s husband, Daniel Gibson “was at first a bit hesitant to seek professional therapy for their marriage, but over time, he realized it was necessary.”
What’s not surprising to me is that Cole and Gibson sought marriage counseling in the first place.
Cole, 31, and Gibson, 26, met and began dating in 2009. They wed in an intimate ceremony on May 21, 2011 — a year after their first child, Daniel Hiram Gibson, Jr., was born.
3 years is about right for Dopamine (which sparked their strong sexual attraction to each other) to begin to fade. Young people who don’t understand how dopamine (and other brain neurotransmitters) works on sexual relationships falsely assume that their initial strong sexual attraction to each other must be love. It is not.
So when the dopamine begins to fade, these young people falsely believe that the “love” they once shared is now gone.
Actually, what’s gone is the dopamine — the initial spark that brought them together in the first place. But if they truly care about each other, the love that they cultivated over the course of their relationship will endure and last a lifetime.
It’s easy to see how young couples can be worried in the absence of dopamine. It’s a confusing time when couples begin to question their feelings. That is when they either break up, cheat, or choose to hang in there and work hard to make their love stronger.
If dopamine is the spark that brings two people together, then love is the glue that eventually bonds two people as one.
Dopamine is not love, and there’s nothing magical about it. Love doesn’t just appear out of thin air. It takes hard work to make it last.
It’s clear that the Gibsons have chosen to hang in there and work to make their love last. The couple was correct in seeking out marriage counseling to help them understand why the mood between them has changed.
“Once I get upset, there’s kind of no turning back,” said Cole. “He knows that that’s not fair, and I know that’s not fair. Sometimes I really get caught up in my emotions and I’m really good at it. So, like our psychiatrist says, I have to try to do ‘the unnatural thing.’ So, I’m trying.”

Great happy for em!
Better hope he stick around for the long run cuz her attitude is garbage. And PUHLEAZE lose the blond.
I like them together. I wish them the best!
Good Morning all
She has a nasty disposition and it shows. Her attitude is disrespectful and comes off as the world owes her something…and I hate it. Yes, she came from a dysfunctional home, but so did many of us. I just wish that her yodeling ass would go away. She doesn’t deserve a lick of success and the perks that come with it, but I guess everyone got the memo because wasn’t she performing in a radio station lobby a few weeks back?

The fact is love isnt the only thing that sustains a relationship. I can love you, but you keep being a bum and not paying in like you weigh in, I will leave you.
@DAISY – she’s an idiot married to an idiot and that idiot leads this idiot
Gigi26 says:
I think Keyshia problem is she’s used to proving her love to ain’t shyt niggas (see Jeezy relations lol)…so she got a guy that geniunely loves her and is not the “ain’t shyt” type and she don’t know how to deal with it.
Its like giving millions to a hillbilly. They never had anything good so they get it and don’t know the real value of it until its near gone or gone entirely. I hope that doesn’t happen to Keyshia.

Agree to the hunnneth!
I’m sad that newlyweds would need marriage counselling, but I’m happy that they are invested enough to do what needs to be done. I’m really rooting for them.
What about anger management??

I can’t stand her either, never could. She is holier than thou, young repub on the show, and as long ss she has a baby every now and again she will have a job(on the view).

******************
That’s what I was thinking. I would have started there and then did the marriage counselling after that foundation was laid. I just had a vision of poor sensitive Boobie crying as ghetto azz Keyshia cusses him out for leaving a swalla of milk in the carton.

You can have two people go through the same bad exp. and they will handle it differently. Everybody is different and has to find their own footing in their own time.
Damn I keep missing this show..
They shoulda never given Keyshia better teef, bish smelling herself now
Just because a couple sees a marriage counselor doesn’t always mean that it’s trouble in paradise. When my old co-worker got engaged, she signed her and her fiance up for marriage counseling prior to getting married. All personal issues that weren’t discussed between the two, were raised during the counseling session. For example, him not having his dad in his life, and how that would effect him raising their children when the time came, her not expressing emotions, etc.

she seems so fake to me! I cant even stand to watch her at all. That’s why I dont watch the view!
Didnt back in the day you would go to counseling before getting married? So whats the big deal on a couple deciding to go to counseling no matter what stage in a serious relationship? In any event my breakfast was rather smashing this morning.
what could it be eeee in you i see. what could it be. Love ole love stop makin a fool of meeeee! Ole love ole love stop makin a fool of me!
THIS MY SHAIT RIGHT HERE!!
Couples just need to be honest with each other…spare no feelings for the truth is worth way more! No counseling needed!

@Harlem you right, some ministers refuse to marry you if you don’t let them counsel you about your marriage.
That’s a nice picture of Boobie and Keyshia. I saw a pic of her sister with her husband on another site and no words for the level of ratchetry in that pic.

Keyshia attitude funky. You can feel it through the screen. Hopefully Boobie softens her heart.

I like to assume they still do. Pastor insisted for me and hubby to be counselled prior to the wedding. That was spiritual, but it was truly a wonderful thing and I appreciated him so much for being willing to do it and partipate fully. That is not the same has going to counselling becuase you are having problems. But again I stand by the fact that the major problem is Keyshia’s anger management problem and extreme ghettoness. Boobie’s sensitivity is probably an issue as well, but not as harmful as Keyshia’s problem.

I am pro PRE-marital counseling. With her past and issues PRE marital counseling would have been her only option to get me down the ailse
Bibi!!!
At least they are seeking help
Her attitude is too funky. I hate to say it, but she doesnt deserve him. Hes too good of a person to put up with all of that. But, those are usually the relationships that last- the ones where the wife goes upside the husbands head. Smh
BiBi, MsB

They goin have one more kid and then get divorced.

True. I hope it works. I only saw half an episode but he really seems to be a good man.
Keyshia may have her issues, but he also ain’t picture perfect. They both admitted during an interview that he cheated after they got married.

Heyyyy Love
They both did an interview with the Breakfast Club a few weeks ago, and they both admitted that he cheated.
Yep, Neffie would be the one to be complaining about the $15/hour cap for the call center employees. She too old for that kinda bread. She done experienced having new kitchen counters, so it’s too late for that.

A few blogs posted that BC interview and it said she talked about cheating but they sure didn’t mention she said Boobie cheated on her…I need to go find that post and hit play. She was on Rickey Smiley’s show too but they didn’t ask her about cheating.

yes because when me and hubby got married 11 years ago we got counseling before we even got marriage license to see if marriage was what we both wanted because a man can love my dirty drawers but if he has a messed up attitude i will quickly throw the
