1. –My, You are a professionally trained marriage guidance counselor 1. Could you describe your work?
-Yes, we deal with any type of relationship issue that comes our way. We used to
deal with marriages, but 1990s obviously reflect a change in the way behaviors are,
and very much now, people are cohabiting rather than marrying. And,  therefore, open our doors to anybody who is in a relationship where things are difficult. So our
work is focused on either relationship breakdowns 3 or marital 4 breakdowns in the hope
that we can either help people to reconcile or help them to separate without too
much animosity and with more understanding.
