“Everybody is contending with the same thing at a certain point in life –- you see certain doors are closed. You’re facing a shorter journey and [wanting to know] how to make it richer, how to make it mean something.”
They take a very specific couple and make them universal. It could be a primer on what couple's therapy is about, how it works and how the results won't always be life-changing breakthroughs -- at least not right away.
