Understanding the Definition of 'Need' in Relationships

Many men often perceive the need for couples counseling only in urgent situations, typically when a crisis arises. This mindset can lead to ignoring subtle signs and conversations that indicate underlying issues in a relationship. The importance of redefining what constitutes a 'need' is emphasized, encouraging individuals to recognize that proactive communication is vital for relationship health. Instead of waiting for significant problems to surface, couples should explore ways to enhance their connection before reaching a breaking point.
