What does couples therapy bring?

Here is your text summarized in bullet points:

Insight into each other's inner life. Why is that necessary? In order to communicate, we must understand one another. What do you know about your wife/husband? What does she know about you? Everything, nothing, or just a little? Whether it relates to everyday matters or to a spiritual level, what would you do if you knew more about her/him? Are secrets 'in transit'? The goal of couples counseling is to learn to understand and appreciate each other.

Clear and transparent communication is very important, yet with 'cemented' issues it is rarely achievable. In this regard, open communication—which can be learned in couples therapy—is absolutely necessary.

Sometimes only mediation helps to part ways in peace. In such cases, couples therapy also helps to say goodbye to each other with dignity.
