This is a short transcript excerpt from Betsy Guerra (YouTube) where she explains that many couples expect the therapist to 'fix' their partner, but she tells them that each person must do personal work to create a fulfilling relationship. She emphasizes that a strong relationship requires effort, pain, and struggle rather than passive fixing.

I get a lot of couples that come to my practice, and they come with the idea of bringing their spouse so that I can fix the spouse so that Betsy.
Can do the work.
So here, let's do therapy so that you can change my husband or my wife. And then I break it to them that they have to do the work to create that fulfilling relationship. They don't like it. We want the best of the best, but we don't want to work for it. And guess what? The best of the best only comes with pain and struggles and hard work.
