Is it normal for a married couple to go to marriage counseling?

We've been married 6 months and a lot has happened in the past. We still love each other and are in it for the long haul. The only thing we seem to fight about one thing and that's sex. So a few months ago, I caught him watching porn after me and that scarred me. I can't look at him the same way. He also has his own issues like performance anxiety in the bedroom. We are an interacial couple so when we fight there's a huge language barrier and some things get lost in translation. We've been married for 6months and we've been together for 2 years. Is it normal to go to marriage counseling this early in the marriage/relationship?

    No, it’s not normal for a married couple to go to marriage counseling. Usually single people go to marriage counseling.

    It really isn’t a big deal that he’s watching porn, maybe you’re just overreacting.

      I wouldn’t say OP was overreacting, people have different ideas about what’s acceptable in terms of pornography in relationships. Although I’m asexual I can see why someone would be offended by their partner watching and beating off to unrealistic looking hunks/ senitiant sex dolls. It does impose unrealistic standards and imply the partner is not beautiful enough as well as often containing violence.

    Seems like it would help so yea I'd do it. Aldo seems like porn is a leading cause to his problems. It's a dangerous item. It fucks with your head. And seeing my man watching it after we had sex would be incredibly insulting. I know I wouldnt take it well.
