Abstract
Most people need professional help when things go wrong and all else fails. They are not sure what to do next or they do not like the consequences of the things they are doing. Spouses may feel ready to walk out of the marriage. Discussions may turn into arguments that never get resolved. Resentment sets in because one partner sees the other as insensitive to his or her career development or resistant to participating in domestic responsibilities. Expressing or receiving love is thwarted by antipathy and conflict.
