I was thinking it would actually help people prepare to talk about serious issues & even the future so both partners are still in it together.

If I look at Jungian psychology we all have a shadow side, an "id." Some couples do not show their shadow sides during dating then they are married & these shadow sides come out. So we either learn to dance with these shadow sides & accept them or learn to ignore these shadows.
People change in marriages. Sometimes one does & the other doesn't or they grow at different rates. I was just thinking maybe this would help in communication.
