So no idea where to put this but I figure Adult Health works.
Start off by saying I love my husband to death and he is a great husband and a great dad....but I am thinking it may be a good idea to be able to talk with a marriage counselor. I have been throwing around this idea in my head for awhile now but I have always avoided it. I just really think we need to work on communicating better and my DH needs to work on his jealousy issues. What happened tonight made me want to look into this further.....I had my bi-weekly MOPs (mothers of preschoolers) meeting at church tonight I am a leader so I have to get there a little early and tonight we had a leadership meeting afterwards so I had to stay later. He new this ahead of time, and he was fine because he said he would be sleeping by the time I got home anyways. Well the meeting itself lasted later and then afterward I got to chit chatting with another mom (I don't get to chat with other moms too often with working from home) next thing I know it is 10:45. I get home had to unpack groceries in the garage and then my DH starts texting me he then is standing at the door when I get inside and starts asking a million questions and doesn't understand me being there and why do I need to stay after and talk and on and on and on. I will also add to this that this happens whenever I go anywhere with out him it doesn't even matter the time I am home it could even be right after the meeting I still get lectured. I honestly don't get out much and it is for a good reason because I don't want to get home and get talked to like that. I was at church for goodness sakes!!
So what I am wondering does anyone have a good recommendation for a marriage counselor because I really do think this would be a good option for us to just fix these little quirks before they get worse. I just have no idea where to start to look for something like this.

Many churches have qualified pastors to guide, council, pray for you. I hope you find help and things get better for both of you.

I think you're looking at the right thing, Sara. I hope you can find one that works for you.

I was also going to say check with a church. They could at least guide you to a good place to go to.

How will this be paid for-- you, insurance, EAP? That may affect where you go?

I am not to concerned about payments I just want a great person. I though of our church but the only problem with that is that we are good friends with our pastor and we teach classes at our church together and I would just feel not as comfortable talking with our pastor about all of this because at church we are the "model" couple so to speak

Dear Sara, it is hard to be honest. From what I see, you have such a great opportunity to minister in your own church. If your only reason to not seek help from your pastor is for the fear to be uncovered, I say take heart and see where God leads you.

I agree with elizac, you have such a great opportunity to minister in your own church. Maybe this is the exact place you need to be, as a "model couple" going thru struggles, and how God can bring you thru the struggles, hard times, showing by example, learning how to communicate with each other, etc... There are probably others that need to see how it's done with God's help, and pastoral guidance.

Talked to my DH more about this today and he wants to try and just talk it out between us and I know that is not the solution. so hopefully I can get him convinced that this would be the best for us.
