The husband states that his wife is demanding and non-supportive. The wife sates her husband does not take his marriage vows seriously and prefers to spend time with friends and his family rather than be with her. Both partners openly state that they are not sure if they should end the marriage but wonder if they should have married in the first place. The BEST intervention plan for the social worker is:

B. Arrange for divorce mediation
C. See the wife and the husband in individual sessions
D. Contract with the couple to engage in couple's therapy
