I am convinced that what helps people in close relationships is not the knowledge, concepts, the theory they have about relationships, but the conversation. Something that emerges when partners with their beliefs, feelings start talking.
Then a completely new quality is created between them. A relationship discovers new areas to explore and understand.
Most people broke up because they couldn't talk to each other, couldn't help each other understand what they were thinking and feeling. When I say/express/discover something, it changes me. I am no longer the same person, and the one who hears and understands is also not the same person after meeting half-way. In a relationship, the ability to express oneself is important, but equally important is to give the opportunity to express and understand the partner. It is very difficult because we, including myself, tend to talk from our perspective and get it through to others. It is much more difficult to really understand another person's perspective. But it's great when it happens. It happens in psychotherapy, but it is one-way. But it's great to see: " Wow, l've got it right & it helps a person to move on to new insight & new feelings".
We are "wired" to cope with our feelings, process emotions and emotionally stabilise in good, close, authentic relationships.
