As a counselor I was frustrated by counseling couples that had been married anywhere from five to forty years. The partners typically blamed the other for the demise of the marriage. They wanted a quick fix, yet were unwilling to acknowledge that each had to change. Getting on the front end of what could become a train wreck seemed to make more sense to me. Couples who have been married only a few years are more malleable. They are willing to accept that each must change. The self-centeredness, the expectations, and the effect their families of origin have had on their relationship are brought into the open. It is comforting to be in a room with couples in the same stage of life, recognizing that you have much in common.
