Mending family relationships is one of the crucial tasks of a counselor. This importance lies in the fact that broken families do not only affect the husband and the wife, but also the children themselves. In a study conducted by Härkönen, Bernardi, and Boertien (2017), the researchers found out that children in broken families are more likely to experience socio-economic, psychological, and emotional problems in the long-term. Thus, this creates the imperative for all counselors to ensure that marital separation is almost always the last resort. 
Population of the Study
Accordingly, this group activity would focus on spouses that are on the verge of ‘breaking up’ and who have not yet gone through marriage counseling. This is to measure both the baseline and the improvements brought about by this counseling session. Additionally, the whole counseling session would last for eight sessions and is conducted in groups of eight to ten individuals, who are husbands and wives. This number would be ideal for everyone to be given the time to communicate with one another through the course of the activity.
