In other words, rather than just asking questions, the leader must be willing to share his or her own opinions.

In a couples counseling session, it my be advisable that the coach does not raise too many of his or her own opinions, but rather stimulate the client to access the elements that have led to the current situation. Both clients, in interacting with each other, can then be stimulated to share their opinions while asking the other open questions that display genuine curiosity. Doing this is particularly important if the couple is faced with a specific conflict.

One partner can, for example, discuss his feelings about the conflict and how the other partner makes him feel when she does or says certain things. This transparency must be complimented by an open question that shows genuine interest in the listener's opinions about the conflict, reasons for her actions, and so on. As such, curiosity can stimulate a deep and critically intense conversation during which both participants will learn more about each other and their situation.
By being able to truly communicate about the conflict or needs at hand, both partners will then be able to access each other's honest opinions without reverting to debilitating patterns.

In this, my role as coach will be to supervise and provide leadership where necessary. My first task will be to explain the idea of using curiosity in a relationship. I will demonstrate by questions of my own, including a demonstration of how I would use transparency. I will then ask the couple to do the same and help them to create a healthier, more creative, and more effective platform for communication. In this way, couples can empower themselves to handle conflict situations and challenges more effectively by being genuinely interested in and curious about each other's opinions and ideas.
