When a couple comes to my practice for marital therapy, the approach I take is to first allow each person to share what their perception of how they view the marriage is, and then being able to get the client to view their relationship in an objective manner, while finding new ways to work on the issues that they have come to me for. My goal is to see how they interact with one another and then help the couple to enhance, improve or repair the underlying issues in a respectful way. The hope is that they can find their way back to one another with new skills, respect, and an emotional connection that can continue to grow throught the relationship.
