Jack and kate, a married couple, have demanding jobs and too little time for their relationship. they decide that one of them needs to step down in his or her career, but they cannot agree on who should do it. their marriage counselor is trying to get them to see that other solutions are possible. in doing this, the counselor is encouraging them to ________ their problem.

Answer 1

The counselor is encouraging them to restructure their problem.
Problem restructuring refers to an effort to solve a certain problem by seeing it from a completely new perspective.
In this particular situation, rather than forcing one of them to stop their career, both of them could compensate and sacrifice a couple hours of their working time to solely focus on one another and forget anything else.
