Saving a marriage (a short story)

Rajesh bumped into Renu one day as he was returning from office. They were childhood friends and currently were about 40 years. Rajesh realised that Renu had walked out her marraige and was living with her parents now. Concerned he asked Renu the details she had walked out for. After analysing the reasons he realised the problems were not one of the following:
1. Partner does drug abuse
2. partner has an affair & does not want to leave it
3. Partner is mentally is mentally unstable & needs phsychiatric treament
4. Either or both partners beat each other physically

Hence he recommended a renowned marriage counsellor. It took several months to convince both Renu and her husband to visit the marraige counsellor. The marraige counsellor was able to counsel both and bring out solutions from both of them without advising anything. Both Renu and her husabnd took a step back to accomodate each other and reconciled again. Rajesh' intervention saved the marriage.
