[quote=Anonymous]I actually think there is some value in approaching marital problems from the perspective of what would make your family more harmonious, rather than just focusing on the faults you perceive in each other. It sounds like a more holistic approach that could work well in some situations. But it should be more on the overall dynamic rather than the details of your daily schedule. I would say something to the therapist--"I appreciate that you don't see a lot of value in rehashing past fights and think we should focus more on how to move forward as a family. I even think you are on to something there. But neither of us thinks you should be telling us when we should go to bed, how long we should sleep, when we should walk the dog, etc. I think it would be more productive to focus on the principles and issues and let us work out the details for ourselves."
