Stray thought: I wonder if people who object to being a free therapist for their partner also object to being a free sex worker.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so! I think healthy emotional support with your partner intrinsically deepens the relationship in a way that it doesn't with a therapist, and a relationship intrinsically lacks the objectivity required to play therapist accurately.
I think there's a very wide range of variation of healthy modes of this - some of them will look more therapy-like in terms of the methods deployed, some of them will look less therapy-like, but they are always fundamentally not therapy in really crucial ways.

Please define therapy

Therapy is what therapists do. I'm afraid you can't define it more precisely than that. I can tell you some typical things therapists do? But generally it's about helping people deal with their emotions and live their lives better using a number of different related techniques.
