When working with marriage or relationship counseling clients it is vitally important for us to understand each individual's perspective in order to understand how your relationship functions.
In marriage or couple's therapy, it is also imperative that each person's perspective is addressed since we all see the world in our unique ways.
In doing so it allows us to acknowledge and accept that our partner has a different view of reality which then facilitates building mutual trust, respect and understanding.
