Marital Counselling: The Scientific Way (1)

At the present time a series entitled Making Couples Happy made up of four 1-hour TV episodes is screening on the ABC (the Australian government station) (no ads!). 

I would encourage you to watch at least one of these 1-hr sessions which features four couples whose level of happiness within their marriages is deemed to be low to very low. Two episodes have now been screened but these can be viewed at the above link.

This 'behavioural' approach is repeatedly said to be 'scientific' and it is this leading attribute of this series that I want to critique in posts to follow.

My focus will be on the view of the persons within marriage that this program is built upon.
