"I told you this isn't a good idea", Lee said in an annoyed tone whilst walking through the big building towards the room they were after. "Lee, enough. We're doing this now we have to, we can't keep going on like this, point scoring and arguing", Lucy replied getting slowly irritated by her husband's behaviour. "We argue all the time, even when we weren't together and where the hell did you take the kids?" Lee replied still in a huff. "Lee relax, the kids are at mum and dad's and because we argue all the time is the reason we are here", Lucy answered now more irritated. "You didn't tell them we were coming here did you? Your dad hates me as it is I don't need him asking questions and we argue because we care" Lee replied as they got to the waiting room of the marriage guidance counsellor's office.

"What do you mean we argue because we care?", Lucy asked slightly confused as she sat down next to Lee, completely ignoring what he had said about mum and dad. "Lucy, if a couple argue now and again it shows they care about their relationship enough to fix it but if they don't argue then you become irritated a lot more as you can't get things off your chest, which creates more problems ", Lee replied adamantly. "That's a fair point Lee but the amount of times we argue we could make a greatest hits album" Lucy replied still slightly confused at why Lee had said something constructive for a change.


About 10 minutes had past as they were sat in the waiting room before Lucy and Lee had to enter the counsellor's office. "Hi...please sit down" the guidance counsellor said. "Right I'm Linda. I want to start by getting you each to say something nice about the other person", Linda told Lee and Lucy. Lee had already decided that he hated this already and immediately rolled his eyes which caused Lucy to glare at him. "Lucy, let's start with you. Tell me something nice about Lee" Linda said to Lucy. "Err…?" Lucy sat thinking for a bit. "Oh come on! There must be something I'm not that bad!" Lee replied getting impatient. Lucy glared at him to shut him up and spoke. "He's good at making me feel better after something bad has happened, even if it's his fault" Lucy replied chuffed with her answer.

"How about you Lee? Tell me something nice about Lucy" Linda asked him. Lee had had long enough to think about his answer. "Err….I like the way she smiles…to be honest…there's lots of nice things about Lucy I could write you a list in fact I could write you a book, which she could do with the amount of mistakes I've made" Lee replied honestly. Lucy looked at him with a small smile but couldn't get out of her mind the thought that he's doing this for a reason he had to be, he very rarely shows his emotions.

"Okay that was great. Next question "What would you say you argue about the most?" Linda asked them. "The kids" Lee answered straight away without hesitation.
