When a couple forms a new unit, they bring along their own values and belief systems  from their own family of origin into their new relationship. These already engraved ideas can become an obstacle when the couple faces life cycle transitions, an illness or any other crisis that they might need to go through with.  Couple therapy would help them to identify their interaction  patterns in terms of their family of origin background as well as the values of the society that they live in. It will also focus on their strengths to create the change that they wish to implement.
