We discuss the ending of couples therapy sessions, including the timing and a way to show that you expect each spouse to be engaged in every session by reflecting on it at the end. 

Elizabeth wants to note something  again. The process of the therapy session, including these last minutes, really help avoid common complaints therapists have in working with couples. The calm, transparent way each session is conducted encourages clients be fully open even if they're dissatisfied with us or the therapy.
