It helps the man identify all the mistakes he made.

This is how it went down with my first wife and me with our counselor. She was spending money like a drunken sailor (and also having an affair although I didn’t know it at the time). She didn’t work outside the home and undoubtedly would have bankrupted me had we stayed together but according to the therapist, I just needed to work all day then come home and do the dishes, vacuum floors, wash clothes and that would fix all our problems.
