A marriage counselor, much like an alchemist, must take “raw experiences” that couples bring in and somehow transform them into something precious. Although distressed couples often come into couples therapy exasperated about their struggles, wishing for things like better communication; more understanding; renewed passion; and healing of old or fresh wounds, with the right kind of help, these very struggles can be the key to increased closeness, connection, intimacy, and sense of partnership.
