"   According to one of those all-elusive &amp;quot;sources,&amp;quot; Jennifer Aniston has enrolled herself and her fianc\u00E9 Justin Theroux in a three-day &amp;quot;marriage bootcamp&amp;quot; during which they&amp;#039;ll immerse themselves in couple&amp;#039;s counseling.  &amp;quot;Jen and Justin are super excited about their big day,&amp;quot; the source said. &amp;quot;But she thought it would be a good idea to start married life rid of any problems.&amp;quot;  Apparently Justin is totally on board with the idea and while it seems a bit much to hope that an intense therapy sesh will completely wipe away all of your relationship issues, working on your marriage before you actually get married can be a really good idea, experts say. After all, many couples go to pre-marital counseling of some kind before walking down the aisle. Plus, this kind of therapy isn&amp;#039;t just for talking about issues, it&amp;#039;s about strengthening your current relationship, according to relationship expert Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., author of Emotional Fitness for Couples, who says he believes in pre-marital counseling &amp;quot;100 percent.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a very good idea and brings people closer,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;Pre-marital counseling isn&amp;#039;t about raking over old coals and rehashing problems, it&amp;#039;s about how to solve problems before they take place.&amp;quot; Going to therapy before tying the knot, he adds, can help couples discuss their goals and desires both within their relationship and in life, as well as improve communication skills and learn how to love each other better.  Sounds pretty good to us. (And, honestly, can you blame Jen for really, really wanting her marriage to work this time around?) But therapy itself doesn&amp;#039;t work miracles: both partners need to be willing to listen, compromise, and\u2014most importantly\u2014love each other to really make a relationship last for the long haul.
