My couples work is both similar and different from individual
work. It is similar in that I would like to hear the stories of both
partners, how they both have established relationship/intimacy

response-able, and both see a positive outcome for the work.
There are some cases, however, where one person carries
most of the responsibility for the relationship conflict.
