It is my belief that no child or individual's goals should be sacrificed for the benefit of reaching goals in a couples' relationship or in a family. Individual and relationship or family goals are not inherently oppositional. It is in reconciling individual goals with family issues that the couple or family can achieve and maintain healthy long-term success in meeting its needs. Couples and families that function without its members satisfying their individual needs exist in stress, pain, and difficulty.
