April and Harry have been married for two years. Harry loves to spend time with his friends, while April wants to spend more time with her husband. She hopes that Harry will understand this without directly telling him. This disturbs their relationship, and they visit a family therapist. The therapist suggests that April should be more direct and vocal about her needs.

Answer 1

Answer:

Communication, closeness and flexibility

Explanation:

The problem between Harry and April is that of lack of communication, closeness, and flexibility.

April (Harry's wife) craves to spend more quality time with her husband Harry but she doesn't want to tell him directly, and instead hopes that he understands. This shows lack of communication.

Harry spends more time with his friends than with his wife. This shows a lack of closeness between the couple.



Harry and April need to find a common ground, reach a compromise. They should both sit down and have a long talk about the problem (communication), discuss how each of them can split their times it can suit them, and spend more time together (flexibility and closeness).
