It will help, but there is a point where therapy becomes manipulation.

In some cases, disagreements are indicative of a shared, unspoken desire to separate that both partners may find difficult to accept. Telling people to act roles so you can glue them back together may not help.

Reducing domestic violence is good, but keeping partners together in a relationship that is undergoing a process of ending, is not always healthy.

People grow, change and develop. Sometimes they grow apart. It happens. It is not pretty. It usually involves arguments, fraught emotions and recriminations. But eventually, it allows both the chance to live a more fulfilling life with others.

It is unwise to have a fixed goal when counselling people.
