Living in a frustrating and difficult marriage can lead to depression and health related issues. You don't have to be a Doctor to know that extended periods of stress is not good for your mind or body. I hope this article can help you end the pain and frustrations, starting today. Ok, I need to be perfectly honest here and say that if your marriage is in trouble then you most likely will need marriage counseling. The only question is what type of counseling are you open to that can help you improve your marriage. So, perhaps a better way to phrase it is "Alternatives to Traditional Marriage Counseling".
What I'm assuming is that you aren't ready as a couple to visit a marriage counselor or have a Therapist show up at your house to discuss your marriage. Many couples aren't able to commit to this type of counseling and look for alternatives.

Attend a Marriage Retreat Weekend
I know what you are thinking and it's not true. Most marriage retreat or encounter weekends are wonderful opportunities to reconnect with your spouse. It's generally good food, fun and a time to recapture the feelings you had for each other early on in the marriage.
You don't have to worry about having to publicly discuss any problems in your marriage. Generally, there are a few couples invited to lead the weekend that discuss their marriage obstacles and how they overcame them. It's more of a chance to sit back and take it all in and then see how you can incorporate what others have done to improve their marriage. It's a good alternative to marriage counseling. The one I attended was fantastic and a few couples who were a few days away from divorce or separation saved their marriage.
