Torvald Helmer

Clients Nora and Torvald Helmer are in need of some counseling according to Nora Helmer. Clients have been married for 12 years and Torvald has had a bank job for 7 years. Nora has been a stay at home mom for all those years from when she lived with her father and then marrying Torvald and remaining a stay at home mom. The Helmer kids aged 1, 3, and 5 are attached to Nora, their mother, and are distinguished as disciplined and well behaved. I anticipate that the Helmer kids have been well affected by the break of marriage for the Helmers. Nora has initiated the counseling due to her experiences showing that she is over controlled and lacks say in what happens in the house and feels that she cannot have a real conversation with her husband,
Nora has been providing to this by being secretive and being dishonest to her spouse. She lies over small to huge things. She misinforms Torvald about macaroons and whether she has them. To she lies about a huge loan she has to pay back when her spouse hates loans. She has to restore this or else nothing can be fixed. Torvald on the other hand, needs to treat her as a human being and an adult. Over and over, he treats her like a child and does not care for what she has to say. Torvald has to fix his whole stance towards Nora. All that needs to be done is for Torvald to become respectful and an equal partner. Although many would think that this marriage cannot be saved by understanding the period over the role of husband versus wife, it still can be saved. Nora Has to become an truthful, trustworthy, and sincere wife while Torvald has to fix the way he treats a woman. Nora can most definitely fix her dishonesty, but Torvald will have to change his entire mind set towards females. This will be more difficult because this means he will have to break the norm of how other husbands treats their wives and I am not sure if this is possible for him to change his entire mind set but this is the only way to save this marriage. The main thing that will make saving this marriage the most difficult is the social norms and having to break them. For the time period, it's the standard for husbands to treat their wife like Torvald does to Nora. If Torvald refuses to change his ways the marriage can't be saved. Nora has the easier problem to fix due to her motivation of wanting to keep her family safe. Her desire will fix herself while Torval appears to be stubborn and will find it much more difficult to fix his character. This marriage is truly walking on hot coals and it can be saved but against all odds, it will be very
