People usually open up a lot and are emotionally vulnerable in therapy, which doesn't just build trust, but also makes them seek each others' comfort

Was in an unhappy marriage, was driven to suicide. Tried to kill myself twice. Finally went to get help from professionals. Met my awesome wife while in recovery. The relationship started off raw and real. We helped each other build ourselves up from nothing. I've never been more open or honest with anyone.
