I approach counselling with over 70 years of life experience, and 30+ years in marriage. I have 50+ years in theraputic practice, and have come to understand each individual is the responsible force for the life one creates. A good marriage is based on communicating, understanding, accepting your partner's point-of-view, and bringing them in your life by compromising and sharing . Ultimately, to cease manipulating them in being who you think they should be.
